No need to convert anything... a .csv is a plaintext file... it's just got the .csv extension to indicate that the data contained in the text file is in "comma separated value" format... ie. it is just a bunch of rows/columns where the column delimiter is "," and, optionally, the first row is column headers.

That's a good point but the plaintext in these files is not separated by a comma, will that still work in all csv viewers? Excel does recognize it as a file that has eliminated data in it, it also gives you the option of "My data has headers".

Here is how the .txt file looks by default:

Here is how it looks after importing it to excel and exporting it as .csv

Simply changing the extension from .txt to .csv didn't change the way the data is represented in Notepad, so I am not sure different programs deal with this stuff.
