  • you could try replacing all single spaces " " with "," . In my opinion a spreadsheet is a better tool to convert a text file into csv

Org-mode is part of emacs and has excellent table editing support, including spreadsheet functionality.

Moreover, you can use org-mode's table functionality within other emacs major modes:

Have you tried ses-mode (Simple Emacs Spreadsheet)? There is also a ses2any script that will convert ses-mode spreadsheets to a few other spreadsheet formats (CSV, Excel, HTML).
