FAQ
Does this follow RFC 4180 CSV rules?
It uses standard RFC 4180-style escaping: quotes are doubled, and fields are quoted when they contain delimiter, quotes, or newlines (or always if you choose).
Can it convert semicolon or tab-delimited files to comma CSV?
Yes. Set the input delimiter to semicolon/tab and the output delimiter to comma, then format.
Will it fix broken quotes in my CSV?
It will detect unclosed quotes and stop with an error so you can correct the input.
What does “Minimal quoting” do?
It only adds quotes when a field needs them (contains delimiter, quotes, or a line break) to keep output compact.
Why do I see a warning about inconsistent column counts?
Some rows have more or fewer fields than others. The tool preserves each row as-is but warns you because many importers expect consistent columns.
Is the generated C# code dependent on CsvHelper or other libraries?
No. The snippet uses only built-in .NET types like StringBuilder.
Does the tool send my CSV to a server?
No. Formatting and code generation run locally in your browser.
