CSV Format for Profile Mapping Files

You can also use Comma Separated Variable (CSV) format for the Profile mapping. In CSV format, the fields are separated by commas rather than by spaces. This means, therefore, that the names of profiles must not contain commas, but the external profile name can still contain spaces.

CSV format allows you to manage the mapping files in a spreadsheet program. If you are constructing a CSV file by hand, you should be aware how a CSV file handles commas in fields. Again, CSV files, managed in a spreadsheet program, can be converted easily to Block format.
