TX2CSV is a conversion program for changing a plain text file to a CSV (Comma Separated Value) file. CSV files are often used to exchange data between different programs, Microsoft Excel and other spreadsheet programs also use them. To convert the plain text file (.txt) it must contain some control characters (CRLF, TAB, ESC...) for data field delimitation. The text file may also contain some control characters for a line delimiter. If no line delimiters are present in the file, the conversion can be done by specifying the number of fields per line.

CSV stands for Comma Separated Values, it is a very simple and popular, text-based, tabular, file format that is easy for both software and humans alike to generate and read. Each line in a CSV file represents a row, and each column of data is separated by a comma (hence the name). The first row (that is, the first line in the file) is treated as the header line. Due to the format specification commas can't be used in data fields as they're used to denote fields.
