PyCSVRewrite is a Python 3 script that will rewrite a CSV (or similar) file under a new dialect and delimiter.
This script can be used to convert a CSV file to a TSV file, among other conversions.
All you need to do is run pip install . inside of this directory.
Alternatively, you can invoke csvrewrite.py directly as it is a self-contained script.
These usage examples assume that the csvrewrite script is available on your PATH. (See the installation section above)
Check the script's version:
$ csvrewrite --version
Convert a CSV file to a TSV file:
$ csvrewrite --input-delimiter ',' --output-delimiter '\t' -i "input.csv" -o "output.tsv"
List available dialects:
$ csvrewrite --dialects
Convert a CSV file from one dialect to another (reading from stdin and writing to stdout):
$ csvrewrite --input-dialect 'excel' --output-dialect 'excel-tab'
For all potential options, use --help.
See the test directory and the test.sh script within.
More robust testing is welcome.
