CSV files — comma separated values — are a widely used file type for the transfer of simple information.  It's a format used by Excel and a host of other applications in finance and other industries.

CSVEdit will open these files supporting a user-selectable set of field delimiters and file encodings, allow you to search and filter (ie, only show rows containing a string), and edit the files.  Fields can be altered, rows added, reordered and/or removed, columns added or deleted. CSVEdit supports undo so you can try things out.

By changing the file's characteristics, you can open SQL data extracts (hint: change the field separator to "|") or many other row-based formats.

The files can then be saved, optionally using new delimiters or in a different file encoding to make translating between formats easy.

It all adds up to a simple but  powerful tool for browsing and editing CSV files.

Note: CSVEdit does not save comment lines present in the input when writing out files.
