rv – TCustomRichView component where you plan to insert the loaded table (it is not inserted by this function).

Separator – character used to separate values. The most common possible values:

•',' (comma)

•';' (semicolon)

•' ' (space)

UseQuotes – if True, double-quotes are used to allow separators inside text values (in the input file); double double-quotes are treated as double-quote character.

TextStyleNo, ParaNo – styles of text and paragraph used to add text

Return value:

the loaded table; nil in case of failure.

Example:

var table: TRVTableItemInfo;

...

table := LoadCSV(FileName, RichViewEdit1, ',', True, 0, 0);

if table<>nil then

  RichViewEdit1.InsertItem('', table);

You can implement inserting CSV files using TRVAControlPanel.OnCustomFileOperation event.
