# Untangle CSV columns

This utility converts this stream:

	date,"text/plain, text/html",text/plain,"text/plain, text/html, text/rtf","text/html, text/plain"

	2017-02-07,1,2,3,4

	2017-02-08,5,6,7,8

	2017-02-09,1,0,1,0

	2017-02-10,9,0,0,9

into:

	date,text/plain,text/html,text/rtf

	2017-02-07,10,8,3

	2017-02-08,26,20,7

	2017-02-09,2,2,1

	2017-02-10,18,18,0

Under the hood, it adds the contents of the columns splitted. The columns not repeated will have the same contents - see the `date` column in the example.
