# Manage CSV Files

> By using this workflow, you can automatically read a `.csv` file and also append data from one `.csv` file to another `.csv` file.

By using this workflow, you can automatically read a `.csv` file and also append data from one `.csv` file to another `.csv` file.

This example illustrates how to create an automation process that uses the [Read CSV](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/productivity/read-csv-file) and [Append To CSV](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/productivity/append-csv-file) activities. You can find these activities in the **UiPath.Excel.Activities** package.

To exemplify how to use these activities, we have created a sequence that includes a **Read CSV** and an **Append To CSV** activity.

This is how the automation process can be built:

1. Open Studio and create a new **Process**.
2. Drag a **Sequence** from the Activities panel to the **Workflow Designer**.
:::note
Add your `.csv` files to the project directory in order to be able to run the entire process from the same place.
:::
3. Drag a **Read CSV** from the Activities panel in the previously created Sequence.
   * In the Properties panel, add the full path of the file you want to read the data from to the **FilePath** property. In this case you can write as a path `Environment.CurrentDirectory + "\A.csv"`.
   * Select the **IncludeColumnNames** check box. This way, when running the process, the first row in the `.csv` file will be considered to contain the column names.
   * Create a new `DataTable` variable called **DT**.
   * In the **Properties** panel, add the newly created variable to the **DataTable** property field.
4. Drag an **Append To CSV** activity from the Activities Panel and place it below the **Read CSV** activity.
   * In the Properties panel, add the full path of the file you want to read the data from to the **FilePath** property. In this case you can write as a path `Environment.CurrentDirectory + "\B.csv"`.
   * In the Properties panel, add the **DT** variable to the **DataTable** property field.
5. Run the process. Data from file A is read and appended to file B.
