什么是 CSV 文件以及如何打开 .csv 文件？ (What is a CSV file and how to open .csv file? )计算机、电话等非常适合存储不同类型的文件，这些文件根据其用途采用不同的格式。例如：可以修改的文件是.docx格式，只能阅读不能修改的文件是.pdf格式，如果有表格数据，这些数据文件是.csv格式，如果您有任何压缩文件，它将是 .zip 格式等。所有这些不同格式的文件以不同的方式打开。在本文中，您将了解什么是CSV文件以及如何打开.csv格式的文件。
什么是 .csv 文件？(What is a CSV file?)
CSV代表逗号分隔值(Comma Separated Values)。CSV文件是用逗号分隔的纯文本文件，仅包含数字和字母。CSV文件中存在的所有数据都以表格或表格形式存在。文件的每一行称为一个数据记录。每条记录包含一个或多个字段，这些字段是纯文本并以逗号分隔。
CSV是一种常见的数据交换格式，通常在数据量很大时用于交换数据。几乎(Almost)所有存储大量信息的数据库和消费者、商业和科学应用程序都支持这种CSV格式。在所有用途中，它的最佳用途是以表格形式在程序之间移动数据。例如：如果任何用户想要从数据库中提取一些专有格式的数据并将其发送到可以接受使用完全不同格式的电子表格的其他程序，那么数据库可以将其数据导出为CSV格式可以通过电子表格轻松导入，并且可以在任何您想要的程序中使用。
这些文件有时可能称为字符分隔值或逗号分隔文件(Character Separated Values or Comma Delimited files)，但无论它们被称为什么，它们始终是CSV 格式( CSV format)。它们大多使用逗号来分隔值，但有时也使用分号等其他字符来分隔值。其背后的想法是您可以将复杂数据从一个应用程序文件导出到CSV文件，然后您可以将该CSV文件导入另一个需要该复杂数据的应用程序。 下面(Below)给出了一个使用记事本打开的(Notepad)CSV文件的示例。
上面显示的CSV 编辑器(CSV Editor)文件非常简单，包含的价值非常少。它们可能比这更复杂，并且可能包含数千行。
CSV文件可以在任何程序中打开，但为了更好地理解，对于大多数用户来说，最好通过Microsoft Excel、OpenOffice Calc 和Google Docs等电子表格程序查看CSV文件。(CSV)

What is a CSV file & How to open a .csv file?
What is a CSV file and how to open .csv file? Computers, phones, etc. are great for storing different types of files which are in different formats according to their use. For example: The files in which you can make changes are in .docx format, files which you can only read and not allowed to make any changes are in .pdf format, if you have any tabular data, such data files are in .csv format, if you have any compressed file it will be in .zip format, etc. All these different formats files open in different ways. In this article, you will get to know what is a CSV file and how to open a file which is in .csv format.
What is a CSV file?
CSV stands for Comma Separated Values. CSV files are plain text files separated by a comma and contain only numbers and letters. All the data present inside the CSV file is present in tabular or table form. Each line of the file is called a data record. Each record contains one or more fields which are plain text and separated by commas.
CSV is a common data exchange format that is used to exchange data usually when there is a large amount of data. Almost all the databases and consumer, business and scientific applications that store a large amount of information support this CSV format. Its best use among all the uses is moving data between programs in tabular form. For example: If any user wants to extract some data from database which is in proprietary format and want to send it to some other program which can accept a spreadsheet which uses a completely different format, then the database can export its data in CSV format which can be easily imported by the spreadsheet and can be used in the program wherever you want.
These files sometimes may call Character Separated Values or Comma Delimited files but whatever they are called, they are always in CSV format. They mostly use comma to separate values from each other, but sometimes also use other characters like semicolons to separate the values. The idea behind that is you can export complex data from one application file to CSV file and then you can import that CSV file in another application where you need that complex data. Below is given an example of a CSV file which is opened using Notepad.
The above shown CSV Editor file is very simple and contains very less value. They can be more complicated than that and can contain thousands of lines.
A CSV file can be opened in any program but for better understanding and for most users, CSV file is best viewed through a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice Calc, and Google Docs.
