Error when compare #26

Hi, i tried csvdiff but i have an error comparing files : csvdiff failed: error processing base file: record on line 7: wrong number of fields on line 7, i have the same number of fields but in a field there seem to be a tabulation... The csv is generated by a program and it is separated by ; so why does it complain about the number of fields ? because of the tab in the field ?

Thanks in advance

Actually right now it does not support non-comma separators. Only comma is treated as the delimiter. Does supporting ";" as a separator help fix your issue? I can work on a fix to support other characters for delimiting.

Closing this issue as non-comma separators are allowed now.
