Frequently Asked Questions
How does CSV escaping work?
Per RFC 4180, if a field contains a comma, double quote, or newline it must be wrapped in double quotes. Any double quote inside the field is itself doubled ("").
What is the CSV delimiter used here?
This tool uses the standard comma delimiter. For TSV (tab-separated) or other delimiters, adjust your source accordingly.
