format file tsv

What is a tsv file and how do I open a tsv file?

The TSV file format stands for "Tab Separated Values", and these tab separated values files are created and used by many spreadsheet applications. The content of a tab separated values file may include text, mathematical, scientific or statistical data separated into rows and columns. Tabs separate these pieces of data into columns, hence the file format name "Tab Separated Values". These tab separated values files are similar to CSV files, though the column data stored in these CSV spreadsheet documents are separated by commas instead of tabs, while the row data of these CSV files are separated by lines of spaces. The content of a tab separated values file is integrated with spreadsheet and text encoding specifications used for saving these files in the TSV format. Afixed with the .tsv extension, the content of these TSV files can be exported into many spreadsheet file formats like CSV and XLS using spreadsheet programs implemented with support for opening, editing and exporting these TSV files. A lot of word processing applications and text editing progams can also be used to open and view the content of these TSV files.
