Change the comma in in2csv to something else #226

Hello, I'm converting a xls file to csv but I can't change the comma that separates the fields to something else, I tried.

python in2csv.py -d ; padron.xls > conv.csv

and without the -d parameter

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you in advance.

The csvkit utilities don't support altering the output format. They only output "standard" CSV to maximize compatibility. There is some discussion of creating a special util for outputting other formats on this ticket:
