Convert TXT to CSV

TXT (Text) files are simple. They just contain plain text without any formatting.

TXT files have some handy features:

• They work on all operating systems and devices
• They are small and easy to create, change, and read
• There is no formatting, just text
• Any text editor can open and edit them

People often use TXT files for:

• Quick notes and memos
• Making readme files for software projects
• Storing settings information
• Sharing raw data between different systems

TXT files do not have fancy formatting options. But their simplicity makes them perfect when you just need plain text and want to keep file size small.

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a simple format for storing tabular data in plain text. Each row is a data record, and columns are separated by commas (or other delimiters).

Technical Details

CSV files represent data in a flat table structure. The first row typically contains column headers, and each subsequent row contains values. Fields containing commas, newlines, or quotes may be enclosed in double quotes.
