# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

uncsv: non-escaped, non-quoted delimited file (pipe by default). This program
uncsv: will error out if it encounters a character matching the delimiter, it

uncsv: quoted values allowing you to use awk to play with your CSVs.
uncsv:

uncsv: values, separated by the delimiter of your choice (default: pipe '|')
