How to create .CSV file with string and image in iphone programatically?

[warrior]

I want to create a csv file which contains both string and image. I am able to give the input as a strings separated by commas. Ex

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDire ctory , NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDir = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *root = [documentsDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"products.csv"];
NSString *temp=@"jack,jil,jimmy,mike";
[temp writeToFile:root atomically:YES encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:NULL];

In the above case it works fine. Now i need to add an image with the strings. I have the image as NSData.In this case how can i give the input to csv file.

I am also able to attach the image alone to a csv file as NSData. Ex

UIImage *img = [UIImage imageNamed:@"flower.png"];
NSData *dataObj = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(img, 1.0);
[dataObj writeToFile:root atomically:YES];

My expected output should contain both image and string if i open the csv file as Excel sheet. Please help me out. Thanks.

basically, csv doesn't "support" images (csv = delimited text)

xlsx, but you need to do something from scratch.....and will be really hard if you don't know what you need to do...
