"update" mysql table

1 New Member
I have a csv file that is updated daily through an automated process and adds the new data to the end of the document. I need to find a way to "update" the MySQL table without having to truncate the table then LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE every time. Is there an "update" command that can pull the newly added data from the spreadsheet and "insert" it into the existing table?
Any help would be great
Thanks
Jared

Maybe a two step process?
Use LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE (although I have never used this) to import the data into a temporary table.
Then use INSERT INTO ..... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE query to update the main table
