tsv file support

Can you add .tsv files as a file format in input/output tools in Alteryx? Can it also be recognized as an 'All Data Files' format?
Thanks!

If .tsv means tab-delimited, it is already supported by changing the delimiter to in the input/output tools. You could also specify any other character (e.g. pipes - |; tildes - ~; carets - ^). The \0 delimiter is also really useful...

Thanks for the feedback. What would be nice if these tab delimted files were natively recognized as a data file. To find these file types now, I have have to change the file type in input tool to 'All Files (*.*)' and then I can select the tsv file. That's cumbersome...

Input tool to 'All Files (*.*) then set delimiter to '\t' does the trick

Minor correction to the previous comment: Input tool to 'Comma-Delimited Text Files (*.csv) then set delimiter to '\t'

There should be a dropdown for common delimiters in the input output tools when selecting ".CSV" -itsself a bad name for what is general character delimited outputs.

Using a slash the wrong way with tab delimited gives no good error message also saying it expects a single character when this is not the case.
