Simple and free online TSV delimiter changer. Just paste your Tab Separated Values data in the form below, and the tool will replace all tab characters between the data columns with a new separator such as a pipe, comma, semicolon, or slash. You can also ignore empty or commented lines while converting. Created by programmers from team Browserling.

This online tool changes the delimiter that's used between columns in Tab Separated Values (TSV) files. By default, TSV files separate fields with the tab character, but many importers, databases, scripts, and spreadsheet workflows expect a different separator, such as a comma or semicolon. With this converter, you can load an existing TSV table and create a new version of the same table with a new separator of your choice. In the tool options, you can enter the new delimiter that should be placed between fields. It can be any custom single-symbol separator, such as ",", ";", "|", "$", or even a multi-symbol separator, such as "||" or "***". If you use the comma "," as a separator, you'll get a CSV (Comma Separated Values) output file. If you use the semicolon ";" as a separator, you'll get an SSV (Semicolon Separated Values) output file. If you use the pipe "|" as a separator, you'll get a PSV (Pipe Separated Values) output file. To correctly read the TSV input data, you can use several data parsing options. If you enable the "skip-empty-rows" option, then all blank lines are skipped (otherwise, they are treated as empty one-column rows). You can also ignore rows that begin with a comment prefix such as "#" or "//". If you don't specify the comment prefix, these lines are read as regular single-column values (the entire comment will be the first data field). The output file can be customized as well. The quoting options let you choose which character or characters should be used when fields need to be wrapped in quotes. Quoting is useful when a field contains the new delimiter, line breaks, or spacing that should stay inside one cell. For example, if the new delimiter is a vertical pipe, then a value such as "Size S | M | L" should be quoted so it is not split into three separate fields. By default, the tool uses the standard double quote character, but you can set a custom quote character in the options. You can also enable "Quote Every Value" to wrap every output field in the selected quote character, even when quoting is not required. Tsv-abulous!

In this example, we convert a small tea inventory table from regular tab-separated TSV columns to pipe-separated PSV columns. The vertical pipe works well as a separator because regular text rarely contains this character.
In this example, we change the tab symbol that goes between TSV columns to a hash-hash multi-symbol delimiter. The hash-hash delimiter "##" is a popular separator for tabular data as it's pretty unique. Files with such a separator are often called HHSV files (Hash-hash Separated Values). We also set the output quote mark to a single quote and enable "Quote Every Value", which wraps every field in single quotes in the output result.
This example replaces the TSV tab with the unique text "-delim-". This text is unlikely to appear in regular TSV files, so it is safe to use as a delimiter. The input also contains an empty row and a note line that starts with "//". With the empty-row skipping option enabled and "//" set as the comment prefix, the empty line and the note line are removed before the delimiter is changed.
You can pass input to this tool via ?input query argument and it will automatically compute output. Here's how to type it in your browser's address bar. Click to try!
