Frequently Asked Questions
TSV is useful when your data contains commas, as tabs are less common in text. Many scientific applications and databases prefer TSV. It also simplifies parsing when commas are part of the data.
Yes, you can specify the source delimiter (comma, semicolon, pipe, etc.) or use "auto" detection. The tool will parse your CSV with the specified delimiter and convert it to tab-separated format.
Quoted fields in CSV are automatically unquoted during conversion. However, if a field contains tabs after conversion, it would break the TSV format, so such fields are handled appropriately to maintain data integrity.
By default, empty lines are skipped to produce clean TSV output. You can disable "Skip Empty Lines" if you need to preserve blank rows in your output for specific formatting requirements.
