How can I convert a .csv file to text in a Fedora system.
Depends what you mean. A CSV file _is_ text in a sense, in that it is text lines containing data in a particular format.
Can you qualify what you mean by "convert to text"? Change the data format? Pull out strings from some columns? Just change the file extension from .csv to .txt so that some GUI file mangler treats it differently?

Sorry, I've been reading too many google searches, they are VCF files I hoped to be able to display in a more readable form
Here is one f them: /home/bobg/Desktop/Dr. MAISENBACHER.vcf
Fedora wants to display them with Evolution but that comes up in black text on white in a separate window, almost unreadable for me. I was hoping to find something that would display it in a terminal which I always view as white on a black background. This is not a matter of aesthetics, but what seems to work with my deteriorating sight.
