What's CSV?

CSV literally means "comma separated values." Basically, it's a plain text file that uses commas to delimit values; however, instead of using the .TXT extension that text files usually use it uses the .CSV extension to identify it as such. If this type of text file is opened using spreadsheet software such as excel or google sheets it will interpret the commas as columns so that it looks like an ordinary spreadsheet. The benefits of CSV is that since it is a text file and not a spreadsheet, it can be opened and edited using a simple text editor such as notepad. One of the drawbacks, however, is that if a value has a comma in it it can throw everything off. For example, since the film "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" has a comma in its title, "The Good" would be treated as one value and "The Bad and The Ugly" would be treated as a separate value. If you were to open this in excel, they would be placed in two separate columns.
