Definition:
A CSV file is a text file containing comma separated values. Usually the file consists of m rows of n values so there will be n-1 commas between each value on each line. When no value is supplied (the equivalent of a null in a database) then you get multiple commas such as ,,,.
CSV is a very handy format for outputting results as it's just a text file plus a comma after every value written into the file. Plus programs like MS Excel can import CSV files directly.
