I created a TSV file (full file at bottom) using Emacs org mode and its table feature in order to import into Anki. The first (non-commented line was:
C-b Send the prefix key (C-b) through to the application.
Anki correctly detected this as TSV format and selected TAB as the delimiter. Further down in the same file I had my org-mode table which was used to generate the TSV:
| C-b | Send the prefix key (C-b) through to the application. |
| C-o | Rotate the panes in the current window forwards. |
And so on ...
I figured it was ok to have these in the same file because the org table uses pipe characters (|) as delimiters and would have the wrong number of fields. As the manual states:
Anki determines the number of fields in the file by looking at the first (non-commented) line. Any lines in the file which have a different number of fields will be ignored.
The first line also defines the separating character – if Anki finds a ';' on the first line it will use that, if it finds a comma it’ll use that, etc.
In the end, no harm was done. I just ended up with a few nonsensical cards which I deleted. Just thought I’d let you know that either the new CSV importing code needs fixing or the manual needs updating.
Thanks.
