Expert Tips
- If your log file uses tabs, copy an actual tab character from your text and paste it into the delimiter field—don't just type 'tab'.
- For mainframe reports, count the character widths carefully using a monospaced font to ensure columns align correctly.
- Use the 'Skip lines' feature to ignore report headers or date stamps common in exported system printouts.
- Add a specific header row if you plan to import the CSV into Excel or a database tool like Access.
- Always check the preview pane before downloading to catch misaligned fields early in the process.
