Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for automatic detection of string and column delimiters in tabular data files are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes detecting (i) candidate column delimiters in a file containing tabular data and (ii) candidate string delimiters in the file containing tabular data; evaluating the likelihood of validity of each possible candidate column delimiter-candidate string delimiter pairing among the detected candidate column delimiters and the detected candidate string delimiters; and outputting, to at least one user, the candidate column delimiter-candidate string delimiter pairing having the highest likelihood of validity.
