Summary: Use Windows PowerShell to read a Tab delimited file.
How can I use Windows PowerShell to read a Tab delimited file?
Use the Import-CSV cmdlet and specify a delimiter of `t, for example:
$a = Import-Csv -Delimiter "`t" -Path c:\fso\mytabfile.tsv
It may have gotten mixed up in the rendering of this answer, but a grave (`) character must preceed the letter t; quotes are optional.
$a = Import-Csv -Delimiter `t – Path c:\fso\mytabfile.tsv
