csv2tsv

csv2tsv is a command line tool used to convert Comma-Separated Values (CSV) files into Tab-Separated Values (TSV) files. CSV files are commonly used for data storage and exchange, where each line represents a row of data and each value is separated by a comma. On the other hand, TSV files use tab characters to separate values.

The csv2tsv tool allows you to easily transform CSV files into TSV format, which can be helpful when working with applications or tools that require TSV data. It preserves the structure and data of the original CSV file but presents it in a tabular format where values are separated by tabs rather than commas.

By running the csv2tsv command with appropriate parameters or arguments, you can specify the input CSV file and optionally the output TSV file. The tool will read the CSV file and convert it into a TSV file, available for further processing or analysis.

Overall, csv2tsv simplifies the task of converting CSV files to TSV format, providing flexibility and compatibility with various applications that expect TSV data.
