-
Check the headerFind the first nonblank line and identify its tab or pipe delimiter. Report missing, duplicate, or unclear headings without guessing the layout.
-
Convert usable rowsCheck every row against the header count, then write matching rows as quoted CSV. Record skipped lines with original line numbers and field counts.
-
Save the CSV and reportSave the CSV and report in your chosen shared download folder and provide links. Save only the report when no usable rows remain.
