Text or CSV (Comma-separated Values) files contain one record per line. The fields of a record are separated by a separator (such as a comma). A field can be enclosed in quotation marks. The first line usually contains the names of the fields. Supported character sets are ASCII, UTF-8 and Unicode (UTF16-LE). The character set is determined by the BOM (Byte Order Marker) of the file.
