This PR changes
csv2tsvto have separate command line arguments for the TAB and Newline replacement strings. Prior to this,csv2tsvused the same replacement string for both. The replacement strings default to a single space as before.The previous command line argument,
--r|replacementhas bee replaced by a pair of arguments:--r|tab-replacement- Replacement string for TSV field delimiters, normally TABs, found in the CSV data.--n|newline-replacement- Replacement string for newlines (record delimiters) found in the CSV data.This change provides better ability to preserve the original CSV data when the need occurs. For example, there are several Unicode representations for TAB and Newline that can be used. It may also be desirable to replace TABs with spaces, but use a Unicode Newline representation for newlines in the data. Some relevant Unicode characters:
) - Visual symbol for Newline␉) - Visual symbol for Horizontal TAB.None of these characters are used as field or record terminators in TSV and can be used safely. The choice to use a these characters or any others as replacements can only be made in the context of the task being performed. This PR better enables these choices.
