Frequently asked questions
Does it handle quoted fields that contain commas?
Yes. The parser understands standard CSV quoting, so a value like "Smith, John" stays in one column instead of splitting.
Can I extract more than one column?
Yes. Enter a comma-separated list like 1,3,4 and choose how the selected columns are joined in the output.
How do column numbers work?
Columns are counted from 1 (the first column is 1, not 0). Enable "First row is a header" to skip the header and see the detected column names.
