What Filter TSV Data can do:

Filter TSV Data is a fast and powerful way to extract just the rows you care about from larger tab-separated datasets. Whether you’re filtering by name, ID, location, or any other column, the tool updates results live with each keystroke. It’s great for isolating specific entries, trimming down logs, or preparing partial datasets for sharing or further analysis. You can filter with exact or fuzzy matches, toggle case sensitivity, and work entirely offline in your browser.

Example:

Input:

name	age	country
Alice	30	USA
Bob	25	UK
Charlie	40	Canada

Keyword: bob Case sensitive: off Exact match: on

Output:

Bob	25	UK

Common Use Cases:

Use Filter TSV Data when you need to isolate a set of rows from a big TSV file maybe by a keyword, name, code, or tag. It’s ideal for debugging, preparing subsets of data for analysis, or extracting specific matches without opening a spreadsheet.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:
