Frequently Asked Questions

How do I specify columns?

Columns are 1-indexed. Entering '1' extracts the first column. Enter multiple columns separated by commas (e.g., 1, 3).

Does it handle quotes in CSV?

This is a simple text splitter tool. It splits blindly by the delimiter. For advanced CSV parsing with escaped quotes, use the CSV to JSON tool.
