TSV Importer

DataLoom Free supports TSV (Tab Separated Values) files, which are ideal for handling descriptions that naturally contain commas.

TSV Parsing Advantage

TSV files split data cells using tab characters (\t). This makes them less susceptible to comma collisions.

  • Fewer Escapes: Text descriptions with conversational commas (e.g. "A simple, lightweight potion.") do not need quotes in TSV formats.
  • Compatibility: Simply choose TSV format in the Export options of Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel.
  • Auto-Discovery: Dragging a .tsv file into the DataLoom Control Panel automatically resolves the TSV strategy in the importer registry.
