What is a CSV file?
CSV is plain text in which each line is a row and commas (sometimes semicolons or tabs) separate the columns. It carries data only: no formulas, formatting, multiple sheets or charts. Almost every spreadsheet, database and programming language reads and writes it.
Strengths
- Universal for tabular data
- Human-readable and easy to generate
- Imports directly into Excel, Google Sheets, databases and data tools
Limitations
- One table per file, no formatting or formulas
- Ambiguities with commas, quotes and encodings
- Dates and leading zeros are often mangled on import
Typical uses: Exchanging data between systems; Exports from databases and web apps; Importing lists into spreadsheets.
What is a Text (TXT) file?
A plain text file contains characters and line breaks and nothing else: no fonts, sizes, colours, images or layout. It is the most portable format there is and the easiest to process with other software.
Strengths
- Opens anywhere, forever
- Tiny files; perfect for search, scripting and version control
- No formatting to go wrong
Limitations
- No formatting at all: headings, bold, tables and images are lost
- Character encoding (UTF-8 versus others) can garble accented text
- Line breaks differ between Windows and Unix
Typical uses: Extracting the words from a document for search or analysis; Notes, logs and configuration; Feeding text into other programs.
What changes when you convert CSV to Text (TXT)
