Purpose
Read a .csv file and display its content via a table control

Example
The .csv file contains a list of cities, with population and geo coordinates:

 We display it in the following form:

// first time? then create the table variable and load the content
if not V[cities.rowcount]

  // create table variable
  CreateTable V[cities] city latitude longitude country countrycode population

  // load content from .csv file
  CopyText fromFile="C:\temp\cities.csv" toText="cities"
 
CopyText fromText="cities" toTable=V[cities] delimiter=";"

  // sort
  Sort V[cities] orderBy="countrycode,city"

endif

// display city table
Table (2,2) (21,104) name="cities" fixedColumns=6 _
