Frequently Asked Questions

What ASCII table formats are supported?

The converter supports various ASCII table formats including those with single and double line borders, plus signs at intersections, and vertical bars as separators. It can handle tables generated from terminal output, documentation, and other text-based sources.

How are headers handled?

By default, the converter automatically detects headers from the first row of the table. You can disable header detection if your table doesn't include headers. Headers are properly formatted in the CSV output according to your chosen options.

What happens to empty cells?

Empty cells in the ASCII table are preserved in the CSV output. You can choose to trim whitespace from cells and skip empty lines using the conversion options. This helps ensure your CSV data is clean and properly formatted.

Is my data secure?

Yes, all processing happens entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server, ensuring your table data remains private and secure throughout the conversion process.
