Frequently Asked Questions About Convert CSV to List
What if my CSV has quoted fields?
The tool handles standard CSV quoting with double-quotes. If a delimiter appears inside quoted text, it is treated as part of the field value rather than as a delimiter.
Which column index should I use?
Column indexes are 0-based — the first column is 0, the second is 1, and so on. If your CSV has headers, enable "Skip header rows" to exclude them from the output.
