How access a .csv file?

[slchapin41]

I installed the MacOS package 11.29 on MacOS High Sierra 10.13.4. When I enter "exiftool csvfile.csv" in Terminal it says the file type is unsupported, and the "supported file types" does not include CSV. But I see posts here discussing access to CSV files. What must I do to be able to read my CSV file? Do I need to install the full distribution?

Thank you, Susan

Hi Susan,

See FAQ 26 for help with this.

Also, see the diagram here for an overview of how ExifTool operates.  Note that the file names you specify on the command line (without other options) are the image file names.  But other file types may be used to import tag values for writing.
