Frequently Asked Questions

How does the text file viewer work?

Open exploremydata.com/app and drag your .txt file onto the page. ExploreMyData auto-detects the delimiter in your text file and displays it as a sortable table. Columns are inferred from the structure of your data.

What delimiters are supported?

ExploreMyData auto-detects common delimiters including tab, comma, pipe (|), semicolon, and fixed-width spacing. You don't need to specify the delimiter ; it's detected automatically when you open the file.

What if my text file has no delimiter?

If no delimiter is detected, the entire line is treated as a single column. You can still filter, sort, and search through the rows. This works well for log files and line-based text data.

Can I export to other formats?

Yes. After viewing and transforming your text data, you can export to CSV, Excel (.xlsx), JSON, or Parquet. Apply filters and transformations before exporting to get exactly what you need.
