# [doc] formats - csv - 3


This dataset contains one csv file at the root:

- [data.csv](./data.csv)

```csv
# ignored comment
col1|col2
dog|woof
cat|meow
pokemon|pika
human|hello
```

We define the config name in the YAML config, as well as the exact location of the file, the separator as `"|"`, the name of the columns, and the number of rows to ignore (the row #1 is a row of column headers, that will be replaced by the `names` option, and the row #0 is ignored). The reference for the options is the [documentation of pandas.read_csv()](https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.read_csv.html).
