How to write multiple .tsv files

In summary, a .tsv file is a plain text file used for storing and organizing data, with each column separated by a tab character. To write multiple .tsv files, you can use a programming language or a spreadsheet program. Any type of data can be stored in a .tsv file, and it can be edited after creation. One advantage of using .tsv files is their human-readable format and versatility for sharing data between programs and operating systems.

Hi, guys,

I have to read from a big txt file into multiple small .tsv files.
But I was blocked at the file name. Since according to the
definition of ofstream, the filename is constant char *, then
is no way to modify the filename, which results in unable to
write multiple files.

Does anybody has any idea on this ?

Thanks a lot in advance !

Best !

If there is any solution based on ROOT,
it's good also.

Are there any advantages to using .tsv files over other file formats?
