Importing and Exporting CSV Files

You can save or load data to comma-separated value (.csv) files.

Use the getCsv file method to save the data to a comma-separated file and the setCsv file method to load the data.

Using Code

The following code saves and loads a CSV file. Select button 1 to save and button 2 to load the file. Change sheets to see the results.
