Csv is not always comma delimited. It could also be delimited with a tab, semicolon, or pipe (|)
Isn’t a tab delimeted spreadsheet normally called a TSV, as in “Tab-Separated Values”?
Isn’t CSV literally Comma-Separated Values?
Sorry, pedantry doesn’t die.
A little bit yes, a little bit no
Tab delimited csv are sometimes called tsv, but just as often you’ll see csv (tab delimited) as a file type option
See the wiki section on standardization for details.
Csv currently includes the following delimiters:
Comma, space, tab, pipe, or semicolon
Now that you point it out, I remember being able to set delimiters on exports. It’s just been ages since I was generating them.
