    • A record delimiter of (13) and (10).
  • Comma-separated values
    • CSV is a specially formatted ASCII file. It consists of columns which are separated by commas, and rows that are separated by a carriage-return/linefeed. Double-quotes are only placed around an entry if the entry contains a comma, a double-quote character, or a carriage-return/linefeed. Double-quote characters are escaped by placing an additional double-quote character before the character. Numbers are formatted with a decimal point if they require one.
