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.
