CSV to Array

Create an array from a CSV file.

This can be useful if you want to test your graphs by using dummy tables that can be quickly created in a spreadsheet and saved to CSV file.

*Info : CSV stands for Comma Separated Values and describes a plain text file where data from a table is stored line per line and fields are separated using commas (,) or semicolons (;).
In most european countries the semicolon is preferred as a separator because the comma is used inside numbers to separate the digits from the decimals.

*Note : As with all data coming from an outside source, the file that is being read is continuously monitored and any changes made to that file will appear immediately in Kinetic Designer.
