Description

I have a csv file with the tab character als a delimiter.
I'm in VSCode and have the file open.
Extensions like Rainbow CSV have no problem detecting the columns.
But SandDance doesn't recognize my columns. It just sees one single column.
How can I tell SandDance (the VSCode extension) to use the tab character as a delimiter?
