What delimiter should I be using instead of commas?

[โ€“] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

๐Ÿคช as a delimiter

๐Ÿฅฆ for end of line

Use comma for delimiter, and escape any comma in the data by enclosing that entry in quotes.

Data: 225 | 2,500 | 450

CSV: 225,"2,500",450

Semi-colons. Tabulators. Something not in the actual strings. However the Python CSV module it formats.
