CSV

This stands for "Comma Separated Values"

CSV is a standard data file format where individual fields in a single record are separated by a comma. For example:

apple,orange,1.6,True,12/12/07

Note that the end of line does not have a comma.

The advantage of a CSV file is that enables you to import and export data between different applications because they can recognise the format. For example, you could export data from a spreadsheet into a database by exporting it as a CSV file. The database can then easily read in this file.
