Description

A comma-separated values file is a delimited text file that uses a comma to separate values. Each line of the file is a data record. Each record consists of one or more fields, separated by commas. 

Use with Development Software

Unity

Unfortunately, Unity 2022.2.6f1 (in 2023) does not have a CSV plug-in that will import your CSV dataset. Some Unity users have created their own CSV-related assets that can be found below and in the Unity Asset store. However, most of these assets will not correspond to the CSV data you might find online, so it would require C# knowledge to edit the script of the asset in order to read the data how you would like it. In addition, if you're taking in CSV data to edit heights of Game Objects, this requires C# knowledge again and you have to ensure that your Game Object even allows a separate C# script to change its proportions.
