What is a TSV File?

A TSV (Tab-Separated Values) file is a structured text format where values are separated by tab spaces (\t) instead of commas. This format is widely used in data processing, databases, and spreadsheet applications because it minimizes conflicts with text that contains commas.

What is a CSV File?

A CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file is a simple text file format used to store structured data in a table-like format. Each line in a CSV file represents a row, and values within that row are separated by commas (,). CSV files are widely used for data exchange, spreadsheets, databases, and programming applications.

Python – Convert TSV to CSV file

You can easily convert a TSV (Tab-Separated Values) file to a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file using Python's built-in csv module. Here's a simple way to do it:

import csv

# Open the TSV file and the new CSV file
with open('input_file.tsv', 'r', newline='', encoding='utf-8') as tsv_file, open('output_file.csv', 'w', newline='', encoding='utf-8') as csv_file:
    # Create a CSV reader for TSV (tab-delimited)
    tsv_reader = csv.reader(tsv_file, delimiter='\t')
    # Create a CSV writer for CSV (comma-delimited)
    csv_writer = csv.writer(csv_file)
    
    # Write the rows to the CSV file
    for row in tsv_reader:
        csv_writer.writerow(row)

How this works:

  • Reading the TSV file: The csv.reader() reads the tab-separated values (using \t as delimiter).
  • Writing to the CSV file: The csv.writer() writes to a CSV file (which uses a comma as the delimiter by default).
  • The open() function is used to open both the input and output files.

Replace input_file.tsv and output_file.csv with your actual file names.
