I believe that there are a collection of csv related utilities in addons
( require 'csv' will make those available to you).
However, for years I have used a simplistic verb to bring .csv files
into a j session as a table of enclosed values -
cutl =: 3 : 0
:
y =. y,x
q =. y e.'"'
qs =. ~:/\q
}.^: ('"'&=@([:{.1:{.]))&.> (qs<y e.x) <;._2&((q<:qs)&#) y
)
tablecsv =: 3 : 0
',' tablecsv y NB. allows choosing an alternative delimiter
:
x &cutl;._2 y
)
