try on your machine

This command is performing a conversion from CSV (Comma-Separated Values) format to TSV (Tab-Separated Values) format using the csv2tsv tool. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  1. csv2tsv: This is the name of the tool or command being executed.

  2. ${path-to-input_csv1 path-to-input_csv2 ---}: This is a placeholder indicating that you need to provide the paths to one or more input CSV files. Each CSV file should be separated by a space. For example, if you have two input CSV files, the command could look like this: csv2tsv /path/to/input1.csv /path/to/input2.csv ---. Make sure to replace ${path-to-input_csv1 path-to-input_csv2 ---} with the actual file paths.

  3. >: This is a redirection operator that redirects the output of the command to a file.

  4. ${path-to-output_tsv}: This is a placeholder indicating that you need to provide the path to the output TSV file. Replace ${path-to-output_tsv} with the actual file path where you want the TSV output to be saved.

In summary, the command takes one or more CSV files as input, converts them to TSV format using the csv2tsv tool, and saves the resulting TSV output to the specified file.
