About This Tool
The Delimiter & Column Surgery Studio is a client-side data manipulator designed to parse, extract, rearrange, and re-format tabular text files without requiring Excel or Python.
Key Capabilities: ⢠Delimiter Transformation: Seamlessly switch between Comma (CSV), Tab (TSV), Semicolon (;), and Pipe (|) formats. ⢠Flexible Column Extraction: Extract single columns or ranges (e.g. "1, 2, 4" or "1-5") instantly. ⢠Column Swapping & Reordering: Swap any two columns (e.g. Column 1 with Column 3) across thousands of lines. ⢠Matrix Transposition: Rotate tables so rows become columns and columns become rows. ⢠Clean-Up Automations: Trim extra cell whitespace, drop blank rows, and deduplicate lines. ⢠100% In-Browser Security: Process confidential payroll, financial, or database dumps with absolute privacy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I extract non-consecutive columns?
Yes! Enter comma-separated 1-based indices like "1, 3, 5" to extract exactly those columns into a new file.
How does matrix transposition work?
Transposition converts every horizontal row into a vertical column and vice versa, which is ideal for reshaping database queries.
Is there a limit on how many rows I can process?
Because processing runs entirely in your local browser memory, you can comfortably process tens of thousands of rows without server upload limits.
