Work easily with CSV files! Enter CSV directly as a text, or load a file from the Files app. Supported actions: - Get a value by row and column index/name - Get headers - Get header by index - Get sheet size (number of rows and columns) The action result can be copied to the clipboard. CSV Tools is compatible with the Shortcut app, thus you can integrate it into any automated workflow. Shortcuts integration is a premium feature requiring an in-app purchase.
