| | Comma-separated values - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The comma-separated values (CSV) file format is a tabular data format that has fields separated by the comma character and quoted by the double quote character. |
 | | In some countries (e.g., Germany) the separator frequently used is a semicolon, allowing the use of the comma in a field without having to enclose the field in quotes. |
 | | The comma is also used in several countries as a decimal separator (whereas the period is used as the thousands separator, as in "23.000,56"; compare with "23,000.56"). |
