## Example for `from csv`
Let's say we have the following file:
```shell
> cat pets.txt
animal, name, age
cat, Tom, 7
dog, Alfred, 10
chameleon, Linda, 1
```
`pets.txt` is actually a .csv file but it has the .txt extension, `open` is not able to convert it into a table:
```shell
> open pets.txt
animal, name, age
cat, Tom, 7
dog, Alfred, 10
chameleon, Linda, 1
```
To get a table from `pets.txt` we need to use the `from csv` command:
```shell
> open pets.txt | from csv
━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━
# │ animal │ name │ age
───┼───────────┼─────────┼──────
0 │ cat │ Tom │ 7
1 │ dog │ Alfred │ 10
2 │ chameleon │ Linda │ 1
━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━┷━━━━━━━━━┷━━━━━━
```
