csv2tsv: Convert field delimiter separated CSV to TSV.

csv2tsv

$ csv2tsv -c'${field_delimiter}' ${path-to-input_csv}

try on your machine

The command csv2tsv is used to convert a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file to a TSV (Tab-Separated Values) file.

Here is an explanation of the command structure:

csv2tsv - This is the name of the command or executable file that performs the conversion.

-c'${field_delimiter}' - This option is used to specify the field delimiter used in the CSV file. ${field_delimiter} is a placeholder for the actual delimiter. It needs to be replaced with the desired delimiter like a comma (,), semicolon (;), etc. For example, if the delimiter is a comma, you would replace ${field_delimiter} with ,.

${path-to-input_csv} - This is the path to the input CSV file that you want to convert to TSV. It should be replaced with the actual file path of your CSV file.

In summary, the command takes a CSV file as input, specifies the delimiter used in the file, and converts it to a TSV file.
