Thats not a CSV file. A CSV usually doesn't have brackets. Perhaps you are looking for the JSON format? But that's json neither, because the ending semicolons should be commas in JSON.

Anyway there are parser classes out there for CSV (eg CHCSVParser) and JSON (eg SBJSON).

See: Where can I find a CSV to NSArray parser for Objective-C?

// edit: Like noted in the comments, most parsers do both ways: reading & writing. Have a look at CHCSVWriter.

He's looking for the other way around - array to CSV. – sosborn Mar 08 '12 at 11:01
The parsers normally do both ways. There is a CHCSVWriter in the bundle, too. – calimarkus Mar 08 '12 at 11:05

You have to iterate through the array or dictionary and create the CSV manually by using an NSMutableString.
