The answer seems to be no. But after googeling a bit a found a wonderful
Python module called csv at:
http://www.object-craft.com.au/projects/csv/
A minimal script called 'csv2tab.py' for conversion to a tab delimited
file could be:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import csv
import sys
def convert(file): try: f = open(file, 'r') lines = f.readlines() p = csv.parser() for line
inlines: print '\t'.join(p.parse(line)) except: print 'Error opening file!'
if __name__ == '__main__': convert(sys.argv[1]);
Regards,
Oliver
