How to search and pull specific rows from csv based on input window response

I have an input window that prompts the user to list ID names from a .csv in hopes of somehow using the input to then call only the listed rows to run through a function.

Is there a way to use the inputs to search through a csv file, capture the rows containing said information/keywords, and only run those rows through a function? Alternatively, all other unnecessary rows can just be deleted and I'll know how to run it from there. Not sure which simpler.

Thanks!

‘readtable()’ could be used to read the entire data from the .csv file to a table. You can then use the user input to scan the table and get the required rows.
