A Comma Separated Values file is a plaintext file that is used by spreadsheet programs such as Microsoft Office & LibreOffice Calc to share data and often end in a .txt or .csv file extension.
Support for .CSV Files in Scratch
Scratch offers limited support for CSV files, in that when a file is imported into a list, if Scratch detects that it is a CSV file, it will ask which column to import. If the field is left blank, it will be imported just like a normal text file.
Reading .CSV files in a Scratch Program
Since a .csv file is just plain text, it is possible to read them into a Scratch program and then use scripts to read and write specific values from them.[1]
