About Text to Columns

Split delimited text into neatly aligned columns using commas, tabs, pipes, semicolons, or any custom delimiter. Works like the 'Text to Columns' feature in spreadsheet software but runs entirely in your browser. Ideal for parsing CSV data, reformatting log files, or extracting specific columns from structured text.

How to Use Text to Columns

  1. 1

    Paste your data

    Enter the delimited text or CSV content you want to split into columns.

  2. 2

    Choose delimiter

    Select the delimiter character used in your data, or enter a custom one.

  3. 3

    View and copy columns

    See the data split into columns and copy the result or extract specific columns.

Common Use Cases

  • Parsing CSV data without a spreadsheet application
  • Extracting specific fields from log files or data exports
  • Reformatting pipe-delimited database exports
  • Splitting tab-separated data into individual columns

Frequently Asked Questions

What delimiters are supported?
Built-in options include comma, tab, pipe (|), semicolon, and space. You can also enter any custom delimiter string for specialized data formats.
Can I extract just one column from the result?
Yes, after splitting you can select specific columns to extract, making it easy to pull individual fields from CSV or delimited data.
Does it handle quoted fields in CSV?
The tool respects quoted fields so that commas within double-quoted strings are not treated as delimiters, following standard CSV conventions.
