Text Tools
Review practical Replace a TSV Column examples so you can understand expected input, output, and common patterns faster.
Use this tool to replace one TSV column by header name or 1-based column number. It is useful for fixing bad data, swapping out outdated fields, and rebuilding a column without editing every row manually.
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
email username john anna name email role John john@example.com admin Anna anna@example.com editor
Output
name username role John john admin Anna anna editor
Useful when replacing a whole field instead of deleting and inserting separately.
Input
2 status active pending id title role 1 Book admin 2 Pen editor
Output
id status role 1 active admin 2 pending editor
