How do I create a .csv file on my mac?

I am having issues doing some reporting. I have a file that I pull from safari- I need to be able to put this into numbers. Typically, in windows, I would paste the info onto a notepad and save as .csv, then open again in numbers.

So--I can't save in pages like that-- and I can't get it to past in numbers correctly. Any suggestions would be great!


Thanks

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Well-- What I have is just text: So-- Typically, on a windows machine, I just go to the website that pulls the reports-- it shows the text (comma separated) and then I copy and paste it into something to save it -- like notepad. The text editor won't save it in .csv.


I tried just pasting it in numbers-- but- just puts it all in one cel.


Any other suggestions?

Thanks-- I was really trying to get it to this point... I just want to take the text and manipulate it in numbers.


So -- essentially-- I have text that is already comma separated, but can't figure out how to either save as a .csv file that i can import into numbers-- OR just save the text in numbers - where each comma separates the data into different collumns.


Any suggestions would be completely appreciated!!
