> TSV isn't (not) CSV why? needs elaboration

• Izkata 4y ago
  As stupid as it may sound, "csv" has become a generic term for any single-character delimited line-based file. We deal regularly with a "csv" that uses the pipe character instead of commas, for example.

    yeah that's pretty strange, does the file format documentation call it a CSV? In my experience those files are always referred to in their documentation as "pipe-delimited file"

      I just export an excel sheet as scv in libreoffice. Opening the file in libreoffice with default settings gave me a pile of crap.
