02 / what you get

What happens to your data

Kept

  • The first row is used as the header and empty lines are skipped
  • Quoted cells that contain tabs, quotes or line breaks are read correctly
  • Saved as UTF-8 with a BOM, so Excel shows Ukrainian, Polish and other non-Latin letters correctly
  • Values are copied as they are; only the separator changes

Good to know

  • Values arrive as text and become numbers only where that is unambiguous and the target can hold numbers.
  • Commas, quotes and line breaks inside a value are wrapped in quotes automatically so the columns stay aligned.

TSV vs CSV

TSV

A TSV (Tab-Separated Values) file is just like CSV, but it uses tabs instead of commas to separate columns. It's handy when the data itself contains commas — like addresses or descriptions — since tabs won't get confused with the content.

Used in: Spreadsheet exports · Data containing commas · Bioinformatics data

CSV

A CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file stores tabular data as plain text — each line is a row, commas separate the columns. It's the most universal way to move spreadsheet data between programs: Excel, Google Sheets, databases, and most apps can all read it.
