Answer 1

You can read files in and out like so, and editing a CSV is the same as other text files.

To read a file into a variable:

put file "/etc/passwd" into passwordInfo

To write a variable to a file:

put "0,0,0,0" into file "/tmp/testing/counters"

What I would do is read in your CSV and copy to a new variable, then output it. There's pretty useful syntax for moving to a specific line in your file. For example, if you wanted to increment the second column of the first row of your file "counters", you could use: add 1 to item 2 of line 1 of file "/tmp/testing/counters"

All of this and more is in "File and Folder Interaction" provided on the Eggplant website.
