For csv parsing we first break out fields using <b><tt>[[j:Vocabulary/semico#dyadic|;:]]</tt></b>. Here, each field is preceded by a delimiter. (We discard an optional trailing newline from the csv text and prepend a newline at the beginning so that every field has a preceding delimiter. Also, of course, if we were given a file reference, we work with the text of the file rather than its name.)
Then, these fields are formed into rows (fields which
To translate to tsv form, we would first escape special characters in each field, then insert delimiters between each field and terminate each record with a newline. Thus, mat2tsv takes a two-dimensional matrix and its result is a tsv string. (For utility, mat2tsv also supports numeric matrices, since that was trivial.)
