greg;24;Male

(csv:do-csv ("test.csv" ((nm "name")
                         (ag "age"))
             ;; start is zero based, so for headers on line 3, we set start = 2,
             ;; the default is start = 0 for headers starting at line 1
             :start 2)
  ;; Bind vars nm and ag to values under the headers "name" and "age" respectively
  (print (list nm ag)))
