Tool Options

Quotes and Recursion

Enter quote characters you want to remove.
Remove multiple layers of quotation marks.

Trim Cells

Delete extra spaces before unquoting.
Delete extra spaces after unquoting.

Columns to Unquote

The column numbers you want to unquote or the * character (matches all columns).
Indicate column positions individually: 1, 2, 5; or using a range: 1-4; or both: 1, 2, 4-6.

What Is a TSV Column Dequoter?

This online tool dequotes TSV cells. It can remove multiple quote types at once in one or more columns. For example, if the first column uses double quotation marks " and the second column uses single quotation marks ', then just enter both quotes in the "Unquote Marks" option, and they'll both get deleted. If you want to clean only certain columns, specify their ordinal numbers in the "Columns to Unquote" option. Supported formats are individual columns, such as "1, 3, 5", a range of adjacent columns, such as "1-6", or a combination of both formats, such as "2, 4, 6-8". If you want to unquote all input columns at once, simply enter the asterisk symbol "*". To get rid of unwanted spaces in the TSV cells, use the trimming options. The "Trim Input" mode removes spaces before unquoting, and the "Trim Output" option removes spaces after a cell has been unquoted. If your TSV columns contain multiple layers of quotation marks, activate the "Recursive Unquote" option. It applies the unquoting algorithm several times until all the quotes that you specified are removed. Tsv-abulous!

Periodic Table Elements

In this example, we unquote a TSV file with the periodic table of elements. The tab-separated values use regular double quotes, so we enter the symbol " in the "Unquote Marks" field. To clean all the columns at once, we enter the star symbol * in the "Columns to Unquote" option, which matches all columns of the input file.

Element Phase Symbol Sodium "solid" "Na" "Argon" "gas" "Ar" "Iron" "solid" "Fe" Mercury liquid "Hg" Carbon "solid" "C" "Neon" "gas" "Ne" Bromine liquid "Br"
Element Phase Symbol Sodium solid Na Argon gas Ar Iron solid Fe Mercury liquid Hg Carbon solid C Neon gas Ne Bromine liquid Br

Cat Breeds

This example uses two different quote characters in TSV cells. In the second column, it's the asterisk symbol, and in the third column, it's the single quote symbol. To dequote the 2nd and 3rd columns, we enter their numbers in the columns field and specify both characters * and ' in the quote marks field. We also activate the trim input option to remove unwanted spaces before unquoting.

Breed Origin Eyes Siamese *China* 'blue' Bombay *U.S.* 'green' Sphynx Ontario 'blue' Birman France 'blue' Ragdoll *U.S.* 'blue'

Cosmic Ray Damage

The sales table in this example was damaged by cosmic rays, and the third column got several layers of extra quotation marks added around it. The second column got hit too, and double quotes changed to the ~ symbol in the last row. To undo the damage and clean up the file and remove both external and internal layer quotation marks, we activated the "Recursive Unquote" option and entered all quote symbols in the options. We also cleared the values from extra spaces before and after dequoting. To do the job, we specified the range of columns 2-3 in the options and left the first column unchanged, as it wasn't damaged.

Product sold % of sales "chair" "4320" '~40% ~' "table" "2102" '~ 30% ~' "sofa" ~1286~ '~22%~'
Product sold % of sales "chair" 4320 40% "table" 2102 30% "sofa" 1286 22%
