Frequently Asked Questions
What is the RFC 4180 CSV standard?
RFC 4180 is the official international specification for CSV files, requiring comma delimiters, CRLF line breaks, and double-quote escaping for cells containing commas or line breaks.
Can this tool fix CSV files exported from legacy software?
Yes! It automatically detects varying delimiters (semicolons, tabs, pipes) and cleans up irregular quoting.
