What Is a CSV File?

Comma-Separated Values ( CSV ) are sometimes called character-separated values because the delimiting characters can also be non-commas. Their files store tabular data (numbers and text) in plain text. Plain text means that the file is a sequence of characters and contains no data that must be interpreted like a binary number. A CSV file consists of any number of records, separated by some kind of line break; each record consists of fields, and the separator between fields is other characters or strings, the most common is comma or tab. Generally, all records have exactly the same sequence of fields. These are usually plain text files. It is recommended to use WORDPAD or Notepad to open, and then save as a new file and then open it with EXCEL, which is also one of the methods.

CSV is a universal, relatively simple file format that is widely used by users, businesses, and science. The most widely used is to transfer tabular data between programs that themselves operate on incompatible formats (often proprietary and / or non-standard formats). Because many programs support a certain CSV variant, at least as an alternative input / output format. [1]
The 1 is not left blank, in units of lines.
2 May or may not include column names, including column names are on the first line of the file.

The following is part of an actual CSV file to let everyone have a perceptual understanding of him. We chose the CSV file of Sjojo_Rescan (Sjojo is one of the members of ASW-Asia Scanner).

Generally, the CSV file does not leave blank at the beginning. In the unit of line, multiple data of one picture are recorded in each line, and each data is separated by a comma (standard comma). In general, the format of the .CSV file used for set images is this:
File name, file size (in bytes), CRC check value, comment (can be omitted)

Comma-separated list dates as early as possible from
Open an Excel workbook that contains address data.
In the address example, the first address contains four lines and the second address contains only three lines. In addition, there is a line between each address set.
For address data to be successfully converted to a CSV text file, all addresses must contain the same number of rows and the number of rows separated between each address set must be the same. For example, change the address example to the following:
A1: Jane Clayton
A2: Microsoft
A3: 456 Elm Street
A4: Sometown, USA 67890
A5:
A6:
A7: Jose Saraiva
A8: 789 Oak Road
A9:
A10: Mytown, USA 54321
Note: Each address set contains four lines separated by two lines.
To insert a new row in an Excel worksheet, select the row header on which you want to insert the new row. On the Insert menu, click Row.
Note: In Excel 2007, to insert a new row into a worksheet, select the row on which you want to insert the new row, click Insert in the Cell group on the Home tab, and then click Insert Sheet Row.
On the File menu, click Save As.
Note: In Excel 2007, click the Office Button, and then click Save As.
Do the following in the Save As dialog:
In the Save as type box, click CSV (comma separated) (* .csv).
In the File name box, type the name of the CSV file (for example, Address.csv), and then click Save.
If you receive the following message, click OK:
The selected file type does not support workbooks with multiple worksheets.
· If you want to save only the active worksheet, click the OK button.
· If you want to save all worksheets, save them separately using different file names, or choose a file type that supports multiple worksheets.
Click Yes when you receive the following message:
Address.csv may contain features that are not compatible with CSV (comma separated). Do you keep this format of workbooks?
· To keep this format and remove all incompatible features, click Yes.
· To retain these features, click No. Then save a copy in the latest Excel format.
· If you want to know what will be lost, click Help.
On the File menu, click Close, and then exit Microsoft Excel.
