### Text File Delimited (CSV)

[](#text-file-delimited-csv)

This type of files uses a delimiter to define each field. The most common format is CSV but you can use your own based on a regular expression. The class TextFileDataset has three constants with pre-defined formats:

- TextFileDataset::CSVFILE - A generic file definition. It accepts `|`, `,` and `;` as delimiter.
- TextFileDataset::CSVFILE\_COMMA - The CSV file. It accepts only `,` as delimiter.
- TextFileDataset::CSVFILE\_SEMICOLON - A CSV variation. It accepts only `;` as delimiter.
