How do you configure a CSV file reader ?
I do not know for Linux but under Windows Excel files could be access using OLEDB drivers - like database. Then using any DB tool or software work with Excel files. Really great. But CSV file are very simple, and complicated. Reading them on your own is absolutely no problem but should be aware of some very important things: Separator char - depends on country and while CSV means comma in Germany is semi-colon! And in other countries could be something different Quotes - quotes are used to have separator char as part of text, value and must be properly handled Also CSV files might have a header row with column names. Could be used to detect separator char and columns, values stored.
