How to Convert A .TXT File To A .CSV File Without Losing Any Of The Content Of That Document

I've been trying for about 4 days now to complete the seemingly simple activity of converting an OS X keychain text dump to a correctly formatted .csv with no progress, much less success. I posted a different question about my predicament yesterday, which has gone without comment or suggestion.

I am simply trying to convert a .txt file to a formatted .csv file, without losing any of the contents of the original document in the process.

What I have already tried:

(1) RWest's Gist and Ben-Oni and christophervalles variations thereof. The main ingredient of this script is a keychain.rb file and I think this would work if I only knew how to add in entry fields to match all the fields in the original document. However, I don't know the formula and have been unable to find a template. As such, running this script results in hundreds of missing entries because the inputs lack a corresponding output field.

(2) RMondello's Gist, which sort of worked for me once, though there were missing entries, but which I've been unable to get working at all again for no explicable reason.

set the logFile to ((path to desktop) as string) & "Passwords"
set keychainPath to "/Users/Dad/Desktop/dad.keychain"

-- write_to_file taken from http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/sbrt/sbrt-09.html
on write_to_file(this_data, target_file, append_data)
    try
        set the target_file to the target_file as string
        set the open_target_file to open for access file target_file with write permission
        if append_data is false then set eof of the open_target_file to 0
        write this_data to the open_target_file starting at eof
        close access the open_target_file
        return true
    on error
        try
            close access file target_file
        end try
        return false
    end try
end write_to_file

tell application "Usable Keychain Scripting"
    set keychainItems to get every keychain item of keychain keychainPath
    repeat with keychainItem in keychainItems
        set aServer to server in keychainItem
        set anAccount to account in keychainItem
        set aPassword to password in keychainItem

        set csvEntry to aServer & "," & anAccount & "," & aPassword & "

(4) Swiss File Knife seemed promising as it has a built in command to convert tab separated text to comma separated text. However, running the command resulted in dozens and dozens and dozens of 'wrong format' errors. I assume my .txt file would need to be a .tsv file for the command to actually work and I have been unable to find any way whatsoever to convert a .txt to a .tsv.

So, this is where I am now, days later, in the same place I started. Can someone, please, tell me how to either alter the entry fields of the first script by RWest so that all content will pass through to the .csv or suggest an alternate method, script, application, rain dance, etc. that will allow me to simply have all the data in the text file appear in a csv file, with the proper columns and rows separating each entry?

EDIT: This is what you get when you just change the file extension:
