This is (nominally) a discussion about the csv-to-usv tool. They are asking if the csv-to-usv tool also accepts semi-colon delimited files as input.

Have you maybe lost track of what post you're commenting under?

(I believe the answer is no BTW, the tool only supports , as delimiter in its input.)




Yes, this. Thank you.

If I work with CSV files they are most often not comma-separated but semicolon-separated because of the numbers. An Excel installation localized for decimal comma would not read 'real' CSV files correct.

If csv-to-usv cannot cater for this type of CSV files, it would not be usable in a large part of the world.


Yeah they should add it. The tool is like 20 lines of Rust code. It's a thin wrapper around the csv Rust crate, which does support specifying alternative delimiters.
