Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of TXT files work best?
This tool is ideal for text with a repeatable structure, such as pipe-separated logs, mainframe exports common in Ontario businesses, or simple lists.
Can this automatically understand any random plain text?
No. It relies on explicit rules rather than guessing, ensuring your data—like Calgary billing records—is parsed accurately.
When should I use fixed-width mode?
Use this when every line uses a specific character layout, often seen in legacy system reports or terminal outputs.
Can I add my own CSV header row?
Yes. Type column names separated by commas in the header field, and they will be appended to the top of your output.
Is the TXT to CSV conversion private?
Absolutely. The conversion happens entirely within your browser, so your data never leaves your local machine.

Expert Tips

  • If your text uses tabs, copy a tab from your source and paste it directly into the delimiter field instead of typing 'tab'.
  • For fixed-width reports, verify the column character counts using a monospaced editor before setting your widths.
  • Utilize the 'Skip Lines' feature to ignore report headers, timestamps, or disclaimers common in exported data.
  • If your original export lacks column titles, manually enter them in the header field to organize your data in Excel.
  • Always check the preview pane to ensure alignment looks correct before finalizing your CSV download.
