The comma separated value (CSV) format is a typical format for describing data in tables or spreadsheets.
The CSV format is used to exchange data between database applications or spreadsheet applications. Although the CSV format is widely used, a definitive specification has not been formally documented. However, these are some of the rules that characterize the CSV format:
12345,Smith, John, "3, North Street"<CR><LF> 41352,Jones, Ivor, "5, South Road"<CR><LF> 53421,Edwards, David, "10, East Lane"
For example, Clapton, Eric, 461\, Ocean Boulevard, Scunthorpe and Clapton, Eric, "461, Ocean Boulevard", Scunthorpe are equivalent; they both define data that contains four fields.
For example, xx"xx must appear as "xx""xx", and "xxxx" must appear as """xxxx""".
CSV messages can be modeled using the MRM Tagged/Delimited String Format (TDS).
