CsvEditor

CsvEditor is a Java-based software utility that facilitates a simple working environment for viewing and editing CSV tables. It's geared toward all types of users looking for a straightforward app for this task.

The only notable aspect about its setup is that you must have Java installed, since it was developed with this platform.

Before gaining access to the main application window, it's necessary to customize the initial table design by specifying the number of rows and columns, as well as whether or not to use columns. Its interface is user-friendly, providing options through a basic menu.

After filling in the table cells with content, it's possible to unsort the table, pack the rows, columns or entire table, insert rows and columns before or after the currently selected cell, as well as delete rows and columns. The content of any cell can be turned into column names.

The CSV delimiter can be separately selected for the text (quote, double quote, other) and columns (semicolon, comma, tabulator, space, other). The font and encoding method can be configured when it comes to the font type, style and size, along with the preferred type of encoding (e.g. UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, Big5, EUC-KR, x-IBM950). The CSV table can be saved to file, later opened and edited, as well as printed.

Keyboard shortcuts are supported, so you can quickly put together CSV tables once you get accustomed to the tool. Help documentation is available. Although it hasn't been updated for a time, it worked smoothly on newer Windows in our tests, without hanging, crashing or prompting error messages.

To sum it up, CsvEditor comes loaded with clear-cut and useful options for quickly putting together simple CVS tables.
