Can you open and read an CSV file in OnlineGDB?

Question

I am trying to open and read a CSV type file (language C), however i get an error. I use FILE* data = fopen("data.csv", "r"); to open the file, and get the following error message:

/usr/bin/ld:g2022_2023_ice.csv: file format not recognized; treating as linker script
/usr/bin/ld:g2022_2023_ice.csv:1: syntax error
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Is there a way to fix this? From what I understand the compiler is trying to run my CSV

file instead of the actual C file.

I believe the problem is that OnlineGDB will assume any file in your project is a source file, even if it's a .csv file. Obviously, .csv files cannot interpreted as a proper C source code. The only exception I've found so far is a .txt file.

What you can do is instead of calling your file a .csv file, you can call it a .txt file with the same content so OnlineGDB would not be confused anymore.

I hope this helps.
