A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Csv is not always comma delimited. It could also be delimited with a tab, semicolon, or pipe (|)
Isn't a tab delimeted spreadsheet normally called a TSV, as in "Tab-Separated Values"?
Isn't CSV literally Comma-Separated Values?
Sorry, pedantry doesn't die.
A little bit yes, a little bit no
Tab delimited csv are sometimes called tsv, but just as often you'll see csv (tab delimited) as a file type option
See the wiki section on standardization for details.
Csv currently includes the following delimiters:
Comma, space, tab, pipe, or semicolon
Now that you point it out, I remember being able to set delimiters on exports. It's just been ages since I was generating them.
