Custom delimiter for CSV / SSV outputs

Open pedrooot opened this issue 7 months ago • 6 comments

New feature motivation

Currently Prowler generates the CSV outputs using ; as delimiter. The CSV RFC specifies that the delimiter should be ,. The goal is to make a customizable delimiter for this output.

Solution Proposed

Have a custom separator for the CSV output or create a new output type called SSV which has ; as native separator and use , on the CSV output.

Describe alternatives you've considered

If you have any trouble when opening a CSV file output from Prowler in LibreOffice or Excel we recommend you to follow these steps:
