Sample CSV file Comma-delimited UTF-8 Recommandations
Each record is one line - Line separator may be LF (0x0A) or CRLF (0x0D0A), a line seperator may also be embedded in the data (making a record more than one line but still acceptable).
Fields are separated with commas.
Leading and trailing whitespace is ignored - Unless the field is delimited with double-quotes in that case the whitespace is preserved.
Embedded commas - Field must be delimited with double-quotes. A single cell with the text apples, carrots, and oranges becomes "apples, carrots, and oranges".
Embedded double-quotes - In fields containing a double quote, the double quote must be escaped by replacing the single double quote with two double quotes.
Embedded line-breaks - Fields must be surrounded by double-quotes.
Always Delimiting - Fields may always be delimited with double quotes, the delimiters will be parsed and discarded by the reading applications.
