## Yaml to CSV/TSV
|
|
|
|
You can convert compatible yaml structures to CSV or TSV by using:
|
|
- `--outputformat=csv` or `-o=c` for csv (comma separated values)
|
|
- `--outputformat=tsv` or `-o=t` for tsv (tab separated values)
|
|
|
|
Compatible structures is either an array of scalars (strings/numbers/booleans), which is a single row; or an array of arrays of scalars (multiple rows).
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- [i, like, csv]
|
|
- [because, excel, is, cool]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
then
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yq '.' -o=csv sample.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
will output:
|
|
|
|
```csv
|
|
i,like,csv
|
|
because,excel,is,cool
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Similarly, for tsv:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yq '.' -o=tsv sample.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
will output:
|
|
|
|
```tsv
|
|
i like csv
|
|
because excel is cool
|
|
```
