Lookout does not have built-in functions to read CSV files. However, their are some ODBC drivers that are capable of reading/writing text files, and you can use Lookout's SQLExec object to communicate with those ODBC drivers. For example, the Microsoft Text Driver in your ODBC control panel will let you do this.
