TSV Help

What does TSV stand for?

TSV is "Tab separated Values". (wiki stub) Essentially, you can implement a really simple spreadsheet if you separate the fields with a distinct character (one that is not part of the data). Microsoft Excel inherrently recognizes tab-delimited and comma-delimited files.

An example

School	City	State
Wumpa	Nowhere	OK
Bellicose	Francisville	New Jersey
HighEd	Brainiac	RI
x	x	x	x	x	x	x    <--- tab stops

The first row optinally defines the name of the columns. It may be hard to read, but each column has a tab between them. Applications read the tabs and can divide the columns automagically.
