You only need one column out of a CSV, the emails or the IDs, not the whole table.

This tool parses the CSV and returns just the column you choose, one value per line, handling quoted commas so the right field is always taken.

How to use CSV Column Extractor

  1. Paste your CSV into the left panel.
  2. Set the column number to extract, starting at 1.
  3. Copy the extracted column from the right panel or download it.

What you can do with it

Good to know

Column extraction must parse quoted commas, because a value such as a quoted address can contain a comma without being two columns. The column number starts at 1 for the first field.

Frequently asked questions

Does the column number start at 0 or 1?

At 1. Column 1 is the first field, column 2 the second, and so on.

What if a row is missing that column?

Rows without the requested column produce an empty line, so the output stays aligned with the input rows.

Are quoted commas handled?

Yes. The CSV is parsed, so a comma inside a quoted value does not shift the column count.
