Convert WK4 to CSV

Understanding WK4 and CSV file formats

The WK4 file format is associated with Lotus 1-2-3, a spreadsheet application that was popular in the late 1980s and 1990s. WK4 files store data in a tabular format, including formulas, text, and numbers. However, as technology has evolved, the use of WK4 files has diminished, and many users now prefer more modern formats.

The CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file format is a widely-used format for storing tabular data. It is simple, text-based, and can be easily opened and edited in various applications, including Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and many database systems. CSV files are ideal for data exchange between different software due to their simplicity and compatibility.
