csvtotab and tabtocsv convert between comma-separated values (CSV) and tab-separated values. The CSV format is defined in RFC 4180[1] and in "Model for Tabular Data and Metadata on the Web"[2]. [1] http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180 [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/tabular-data-model/ Compilation =========== Download all the files in this directory: two C source files (csvtotab.c, tabtocsv.c), two manual pages (csvtotab.1, tabtocsv.1), a Makefile (Makefile) and two test programs (test.sh, testtab.sh). Then run "make". Testing ======= Some regression tests are included: run "make check" to see if the compiled programs work correctly. Installation ============ Copy the compiled binaries csvtotab and tabtocsv to a directory in your PATH, e.g., /usr/local/bin Optionally copy the manual pages csvtotab.1 and tabtocsv.1 to a directory where man(1) can find them, e.g., /usr/share/man/man1
