commercial application softwares (Excel, Access, Notepad…) or through the
application software Blade Light.
The .cvs file consists of records (lines) separated from each other by a CR

by a separator such as “semicolon” (;) or tabulator.

semicolon” (;), except at the end of the line. A tag corresponds to each line
and each text adjacent to a tab or semicolon corresponds to a field.
