FAQ

Good to know

One item per line; comma-, semicolon-, tab-, space- or pipe-separated text; and code such as a JSON array or an SQL IN list. Auto-detect picks the separator, or you can choose it yourself.

An item in quotes keeps its commas, so "Doe, Jane" stays one item, as in a CSV file. Unquoted text is split at every comma.

With double quotes, any " or \ inside an item gets a backslash, as JSON requires. With single quotes, apostrophes are doubled, as SQL expects: O'Brien becomes 'O''Brien'.
