CSV Files

These are the simplest file format and can be created using any spreadsheet such as Excel or Google Sheets.

The format of the CSV file is as follows:

source URL,target URL

This can optionally be followed with:

regex,http code

Where regex is a 0 to indicate no regular expression, and a 1 to indicate a regular expression.

For example:

/old-url,/new-url

/old-url/.*,/new-url,1,301

CSV Import Problems

It is important to note that when using CSV files:

• CSV means the columns are comma separated. This does not include tabs or semicolons
• Columns can be enclosed within quotes, but this should not extend to the comma separating the columns

If you are having difficulty exporting a compatible CSV file then please double-check that you are exporting as a comma-separated file.
