Supported formats
Settings file
For the settings file, only one format is supported:
Comma seperated values (CSV)
Your run of the mill csv files. As long as one provides the delimiter in the settings file, anything goes. For example:
- comma
- semicolon
- tab
The amount of columns are determined by length of the header or the first line of data.
