A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool
- Choose the source delimiter and header mode.
- Select the output delimiter, quoting and line-ending preferences.
- Convert and check a few fields that contain punctuation before exporting.
How it works
The tool parses records first and serializes each field with the new delimiter. A field is quoted if it contains that delimiter, a quote or a newline; internal quotes are doubled. Quote-every-field and CRLF options support stricter import systems. A UTF-8 BOM can help some applications detect encoding.
A practical example
Start with
name,note Ada,"Hello, world"
What to expect
With semicolon output: name;note Ada;Hello, world
Important considerations
Global find-and-replace changes commas inside values and corrupts tables. This converter separates structure from content. A BOM is an encoding marker, not a visible header character.

One more useful detail
