Print CSV not working

p5.js Coding Questions

I am trying to load a CSV file and print the contents. The file loads and I get the filename, but the rows and columns are not passed.

Here is my code:

"use strict";

let i, k, trows, tcols;
let table, loadButton;

function setup() {
  createCanvas(800, 800);
  background(200);
  loadButton = createFileInput(gotFile);
  loadButton.position(20, 20);

}

function gotFile(f) {

  print(`File "${f.name}" of type "${f.type}" was chosen.`);

  table = loadTable(f.data, "csv");
  trows = table.getRowCount();
  tcols = table.getColumnCount();

  print(trows + " rows/lines in table ");
  print(tcols + " cols in table");

  for (i = 0; i < tcols; i++) {
    print("col: " + i + " " + table.getColumnTitle(i));
  }

  for (k = 0; k < trows; k++) {
    for (i = 0; i < tcols; i++) {
      print("row: " + k + " col: " + i + " string: " + table.getString(k, i));
    }
  }
}

the output of the console:

File "iris.csv" of type "" was chosen. 
SEP IS , 
0 rows/lines in table  
0 cols in table

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks Chrisir, got it working now.
Seems that the CSV format was not correct.
