No, those are return-delimited files with no tab or or comma delimiters.

Where are these files coming from? Although comma-delimited files are in
fact text, some applications always use the extension ".csv" for them. On
Windows, that means "comma separated value" file. Windows uses ",txt" for
tab-delimited , and ".csv" for tab-delimited. Excel on both Windows and Mac
does the same. 

What has led you to believe that these are comma-delimited files?
