How to handle tab delimited csv file? #261
Comments
Hi @metawops, can you try changing the file extension to We could add features to do better column detection, as well as handle semicolon and international number formats which use a comma as a decimal. |
That actually worked. However, Windows Explorer now doesn’t show the Excel document icon anymore because Excel apparently isn’t connected with
I’d appreciate that. Always a hassle working with decimal points/commas in number, date formats, commas in strings that are not field separators etc.pp. |
Quick fix could be to make the column separator an editable setting ;-) Need semicolon as separator, because comma is the decimal separator in german! |
I agree working with nested json in columns so using ~ for separator. The ~ never shows up in the data but almost any other character could. Most commonly csv files use a comm but the c can stand for character separated file. So Allowing separation by a selected character helps a lot, when data contains embedded commas. |
Same here, this problem is due to the switched "." and "," within numbers. I raised this as idea #606 before checking for this issue. |
same here. Comma separator is for decimals in spanish, so unable to use SandDance in vscode |
I have a csv file with the tab character als a delimiter.
I'm in VSCode and have the file open.
Extensions like Rainbow CSV have no problem detecting the columns.
But SandDance doesn't recognize my columns. It just sees one single column.
How can I tell SandDance (the VSCode extension) to use the tab character as a delimiter?
