How to convert a tab separated file to CSV format?
I have a text file in this format : { attribute1 attribute2 attribute3.... attributeN value"A" value"B" value"C".... value"Z" /* next line of values*/ } Each word is separated by a tab. How do I convert to CSV format? I tried using Excel but it's giving compatibility issues. Import the data with excel (Data > Load from text file), using tab as a column separator.

If you can use a scripting language , you might give Python a shot: import csv # read tab-delimited file with open
