Can anyone suggest a way to convert a tab-delimited file to csv

if you just dealing with a few files, you could use thing like vi
or and editor w/ regex capbilites to search and replace tabs w/
comma's.
perl -pe ’s/\t/,/g’ table.tsv > table.csv
There's more to csv than commas, though. For example, if one of the
fields contains commas, you need to wrap the field with quotes.
