Multiple lists of the same length to csv - list

Question

I have a couple List<string>s, with the format like this:
List 1 List 2 List 3
1 A One
2 B Two
3 C Three
4 D Four
5 E Five
So in code form, it's like:
List<string> list1 = {"1","2","3","4","5"};
List<string> list2 = {"A","B","C","D","E"};
List<string> list3 = {"One","Two","Three","Four","Five"};
My questions are:
How do I transfom those three lists to a CSV format?
list1,list2,list3
1,A,one
2,b,two
3,c,three
4,d,four
5,e,five
Should I append , to the end of each index or make the delimeter its own index within the multidimensional list?

Answer 1

If performance is your main concern, I would use an existing csv library for your language, as it's probably been pretty well optimized.
If that's too much overhead, and you just want a simple function, I use the same concept in some of my code. I use the join/implode function of a language to create a list of comma separated strings, then join that list with \n.
I'm used to doing this in a dynamic language, but you can see the concept in the following pseudocode example:
header = {"List1", "List2", "List3"}
list1 = {"1","2","3","4","5"};
list2 = {"A","B","C","D","E"};
list3 = {"One","Two","Three","Four","Five"};
values = {header, list1, list2, list3};
for index in values
values[index] = values[index].join(",");
values = values.join("\n");
