## DESCRIPTION

Generate SD files from CSV or TSV TextFile(s). The new SD files contain no structure data as indicated by empty structure data block; Data fields and values in SD files are generated using TextFile(s) column labels and corresponding data values.

All the text files in a current directory can be specified by *.csv, *.tsv, or the current directory name. The --indelim option determines the format of TextFile(s). Any file which doesn't correspond to the format indicated by --indelim option is ignored.
