How It Works

Paste delimited text (CSV, TSV, or any custom delimiter) and choose your input and output delimiters. The tool splits each line into columns and can rejoin them with a different delimiter, or extract specific columns by number.

Why Use This Tool

Working with CSV, TSV, or other delimited data is common in data processing, spreadsheets, and log analysis. This tool lets you quickly re-delimit data, extract specific columns, or preview tabular data without opening a spreadsheet application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it handle CSV with quoted fields?

Yes. The tool correctly handles CSV fields enclosed in double quotes, including fields that contain commas, newlines, or escaped quotes within them.

How do I extract specific columns?

Switch to Extract mode and enter column numbers in the 'Columns to extract' field. Use individual numbers (1,3,5), ranges (1-3), or a combination. Columns are numbered starting from 1.

Can I convert between tab-separated and comma-separated?

Yes. Set the input delimiter to Tab and the output delimiter to Comma (or vice versa) in Split mode. The tool will re-delimit every row for you.

What happens with uneven rows?

Rows with fewer columns than others will have empty values for the missing columns. The tool handles uneven data gracefully without errors.

Is my data processed locally?

Yes. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your data is never sent to any server β€” it stays completely private on your device.
