write_xsv field_separator=str, list_separator=str, null_value=str, [no_header=bool]Description
Section titled “Description”The xsv format is a generalization of comma-separated values (CSV) data
in tabular form with a more flexible separator specification supporting tabs,
commas, and spaces. The first line in an XSV file is the header that describes
the field names. The remaining lines contain concrete values. One line
corresponds to one event, minus the header.
The following table lists existing XSV configurations:
| Format | Field Separator | List Separator | Null Value |
|---|---|---|---|
csv | , | ; | empty |
ssv | <space> | , | - |
tsv | \t | , | - |
