NAME

App::csv2tsv - A command line utility "csv2tsv" for easy and fairly properly transforming from CSV to TSV.

VERSION

Version 0.51

SYNOPSIS

csv2tsv [-t str] [-n str] [-v] [-Q] [-2] [-~] file

DESCRIPTION

Transforms CSV formatted data (cf. RFC4180) into TSV formated data. Input is assumed to be UTF-8. (The input line ends can be both CRLF or LF. The output line ends are LF.) Warnings/erros would be properly printed on STDERR (as far as the author of this program experienced).

EXAMPLE

csv2tsv file.csv > file.tsv

csv2tsv -n '[\n]' file.csv > file.tsv # "\n" in the CSV cell will be transfomed to [\n].

csv2tsv -t TAB file.csv > file.tsv # "\t" in the CSV cell will be transfomed to "TAB". UTF-8 characters can be specified.

for i in *.csv ; do csv2tsv -n'"\n"' -t'"\t"' $i > ${i/csv/tsv} ; done # BASH or ZSH is required to use this "for" statement. Useful for multiple CSV files.

For the safety, when '-t' or '-n' is set with string character specification, a warning is displayed every time a values in the input cells matches the specified string charatcter unless -Q is set.

csv2tsv < file.csv > file.tsv # file name information cannot be passed to "csv2tsv". So the warning messages may lack a few information.

OPTION

-t str

What the input TAB character will be replaced with is specified.

-n str

What "\n" character in the input CSV cell will be replaced with is specified.

-v

Always tell the existence of "\t" or "\n" even if "-t str" or "-n str" is specified.

-Q

No warning even if "\t" or "\n" is included in the cell of input.

-2

Double space output, to find "\n" anormality by human eyes. (For a kind expediency when this program author was firstly making this program)

-~

The opposite conversion of csv2tsv, i.e. TSV to CSV conversion. (Every cell will be encloded by double quotes.)
