Delimiter Separated Values DSV|CSV|TSV
Files using the Delimiter Separated Value (DSV) format are used to store tabular data such as numbers and text. A DSV file is used to store and exchange data among many applications. Most database and spreadsheet programs are able to read or save data in a delimited format.
 * Extensions: ,

The delimiter separated file format is structured similarly to a spreadsheet. The DSV column headers are usually included as the first line, and each subsequent line is a row of data. Each row is separated by a newline (Enter). There are many widespread specifications and conventions for DSV such as Comma-Separated Values (CSV), and Tab-Separated Values (TSV). Any character may be used to separate the values, but the most common delimiters are the comma, tab, and colon.
