Category:Files with Comma Separated Values

Cumulus software uses a number of files with a .txt extension that can be described as being in comma separated value format (CSV). Cumulus normally simply appends new lines onto the end of these files, although there is some functionality to read (and in some versions) edit these files.

None of the files hold a header line, although the appropriate header labelling the fields can be found in a different file. Although these files are described as CSV format, that does not mean that the character separating one field from the next field has to be ",". In some locales, the comma character might separate the integer and decimal parts of a number, so the field separator character might be a semi-colon ";".
