Review practical Change Arbitrary Column Delimiter examples so you can understand expected input, output, and common patterns faster.
Use this tool to change the delimiter in arbitrary delimited text. It is useful when converting pipe-separated, semicolon-separated, colon-separated, or other custom flat text into a different delimiter format.
Example pages are especially useful for text tools because they show what good input looks like, what kind of output to expect, and how the tool behaves in common scenarios.
Input
| ; name|email|role John|john@example.com|admin
Output
name;email;role John;john@example.com;admin
Useful when converting between custom flat file styles.
Input
; , name;email;role John;john@example.com;admin
Output
name,email,role John,john@example.com,admin
Good for normalizing custom-delimited text.
Fix: Use one character for the current delimiter and one for the new delimiter.
Fix: Check the input format carefully before converting.
Fix: Put the two delimiters first, then a blank line, then the data.
After reviewing these examples, run the live tool with your own input. If your task involves a follow-up step, the related page can help you move to the next tool in the workflow.
