What this tool does
Converts between CSV and TSV, switching comma separation for tab separation so you can paste into a different program.
How to use it
- Paste the data.
- Choose the direction.
- Run it and confirm the column count is unchanged.
Worked example
Converting name,value and Ada,42 to TSV returns the same two lines with tabs instead of commas.
Frequently asked questions
- Why use TSV?
- Tabs are safer when values frequently contain commas, and spreadsheets usually split columns more reliably from TSV when pasting.
- What if a value contains a tab?
- Column boundaries can shift. Keep such data as CSV, or replace the tabs beforehand.
