With nodejs I want to parse a .csv file of 10000 records and do some operation on each row. I tried using http://www.adaltas.com/projects/node-csv. I couldnt get this to pause at each row. This just reads through all the 10000 records. I need to do the following:
- read csv line by line
- perform time consuming operation on each line
- go to the next line
Can anyone please suggest any alternative ideas here?

Seems like you need to use some stream based solution, there existed already such libraries so before reinventing yourself, try this library, which also includes validation support. https://www.npmjs.org/package/fast-csv
