TSV vs CSV
Both store tables as text — the separator is the difference.
| TSV | CSV | |
|---|---|---|
| Separator | Tab character | Comma (or ;) |
| Commas in text | No quotes needed | Must be wrapped in quotes |
| Paste into a spreadsheet | Splits into columns automatically | May need Text to Columns |
| Tabs or line breaks in values | Replaced with a space | Kept inside quotes |
| File extension | .tsv / .txt | .csv |
