How to Use CSV Advanced Converter

What is CSV Advanced Converter?

The CSV Advanced Converter transforms CSV files between different delimiter formats — comma, semicolon, tab, pipe (|), space, and custom single characters — while correctly handling RFC 4180 quoted fields, embedded newlines in quoted strings, escaped delimiters, and BOM markers. Delimiter incompatibility is one of the most common CSV import failures: European locales use semicolons because commas are decimal separators; German Excel exports semicolon-separated files that break American CSV parsers; TSV files from bioinformatics tools need conversion to standard CSV.
