What is wrong with my writing data to a csv file in c#?

Question

I am attempting to write highscores from the game i am building in Unity to a CSV file. So far i have gotten this far:

    {
        string filepath = Application.dataPath;
        string newFileName = (Application.dataPath + "highscore.csv");
        StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(newFileName);
        writer.WriteLine("Score,Time");
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
        {
            writer.WriteLine(scoresAndSeconds[i, 0].ToString() + "," + scoresAndSeconds[i, 1].ToString());
        } 
    }

I am succeeding in creating the CSV file when I call the function, but nothing at all is being written. No errors are being thrown from the code.

You just need to flush the stream. To achieve that, just use the using statement

using StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(newFileName);
writer.WriteLine("Score,Time");
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
    writer.WriteLine(scoresAndSeconds[i, 0].ToString() + "," + scoresAndSeconds[i, 1].ToString());
} 

Note you might want to look at a Csv library for more extensive CSV support
