   2
   3 <p>CSV means Comma-Separated-Values and is a common format for text interchange.</p>
   4
   5 <p>The expected file format is a plain text file with a list of field names
   6    as the first record. The data then follows, one record per line.</p>
   7
   8 <p>The field delimiter defaults to a comma character and the field enclosure
   9    is not set by default (field enclosures are characters that surround each
  10    field in each record).</p>
  11
  12 <p>Records should be delimited by new lines (usually generated by pressing RETURN
  13    or ENTER in your text editor). Tabs can be specified using \t and newlines by \n. </p>
