Text Column

Extracts one or more columns from delimited text. Specify a delimiter (Tab, Comma, Space, or Custom) and a column spec such as '1,3' or '1-3'; the tool splits each line, picks the requested columns, and joins them with tabs.

1. Paste delimited text into the Input Text area. 2. Choose a Delimiter: Tab, Comma, Space, or Custom (then type the custom delimiter). 3. Enter Columns to Extract, for example '1', '1,3', or '1-3'. 4. Read the detected column count and row count below the input. 5. Copy or Download the extracted output.

Comma-separated indices select individual columns (1,3,5). A range like 1-3 expands to columns 1, 2, and 3. Ranges can be reversed (3-1 works). Duplicate indices are de-duplicated and sorted. Indices are 1-based; out-of-range cells become empty. The hint '1,3 or 1-3' is shown under the field.
