[(csv page=test.csv find="state=CA" fmt='Name: {+name}, Age: {+age}')]
[(csv page=test.csv find="3" template=csv)]
Can be used to display the entries. If you want to have the display
be a form, you could create a template that would modify multiple
cells simultaneously. The row numbers will be passed to the template
engine as {+p}. You can use these to create multiple csvsave and
csvedit fields. Let me know if you need help.

Anything is possible, but that is a good bit of work. I don't plan to
tackle that right now.

Actually, I'm not exactly sure how to do this, though admittedly it's
a good idea. Is there a standard for CSV files? I've though of
changing how a row is saved, by listing the form fields for each
column and then adding " " if needed, or escaping the ',' which would
be easier. But then you might have compatibility problems if using the
csv file elsewhere.
On the other hand, the problem with " , " is that I can't run the
simple explode() function to get the columns. It's not regex function.

This is easy enough. Let me know if it's pressing and I'll see if we
can't get it taken care. I added some notes on the csv plugin page.
