@QString filename = QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(this, "DialogTitle", "filename.csv", "CSV files (.csv);;Zip files (.zip, *.7z)", 0, 0); // getting the filename (full path)
QFile data(filename);
if(data.open(QFile::WriteOnly |QFile::Truncate))
{
QTextStream output(&data);
output << "'your csv content';'more csv content'"
}

You write CSV files like any other text file with QTextStream.
@
double value1(10);
double value2(13.2);
QFile file("./file.csv");
if (file.open(QFile::WriteOnly|QFile::Truncate))
{
QTextStream stream(&file);
stream << value1 << "\t" << value2 << "\n"; // this writes first line with two columns
(...)
file.close();
}@

Or, you use LibQxt's "QxtCsvModel":http://libqxt.bitbucket.org/doc/0.6/qxtcsvmodel.html class. It provides an [[doc:QAbstractItemModel]] type interface for CSV files.

Try qtcsv library for reading and writing csv-files. I tried to make it small and easy-to-use. See Readme file for library documentation and code examples.

Quick Example:

#include <QList>
#include <QStringList>
#include <QDir>
#include <QDebug>

#include "qtcsv/stringdata.h"
#include "qtcsv/reader.h"
#include "qtcsv/writer.h"

int main()
{
    // prepare data that you want to save to csv-file
    QStringList strList;
    strList << "one" << "two" << "three";

    QtCSV::StringData strData;
    strData.addRow(strList);
    strData.addEmptyRow();
    strData << strList << "this is the last row";

    // write to file
    QString filePath = QDir::currentPath() + "/test.csv";
    QtCSV::Writer::write(filePath, strData);

    // read data from file
    QList<QStringList> readData = QtCSV::Reader::readToList(filePath);
    for ( int i = 0; i < readData.size(); ++i )
    {
        qDebug() << readData.at(i).join(",");
    }

    return 0;
}
