The csvtools package allows you to repeatedly perform a set of LaTeX commands on data in each row of a comma separated variable (CSV) file (though substitution of the ‘comma’ is permitted). Such files may be used as source for mail merging, generating tables etc. Examples are given in the documentation.
The distribution also provides packages:
csvsort, that provides analagous commands to those in the
main package, having first sorted the data (using the
xfor and
compare packages); and
csvpie, for creating a pie-chart from a CSV file.
The bundle has now been superseded by the datatool bundle.
If possible, get this package from your distribution using its installation manager. (For installation help, click on your distribution's name.)
