Often I'll need to peek at the data first and possibly make a few minor edits. Excel does indeed work for this, but that puts me at the mercy of those acknowledged masters of interface annoyances, the Microsoft Kludge Kings. When I go to re-save my CSV file in Excel, I get a nag message that basically says, "Oh wait, you'll lose features with that format!" Then when I go to close the file, I get an, "Oh wait, you haven't saved the file yet!" Oh yes I have, I say to myself as my workflow gets disrupted for the umpteenth time. And what if I leave the file open, in case I need to make further edits? My statistical package will barf, gurgling, "file locked by another process". Lovely. I use text editors with CSV files on occasion, but everything appears to run together on the screen. For that matter, even Excel starts with default column widths that aren't very helpful. If I close a file and reopen it later, I'll have to futz with the column widths all over again. So I'm quite pleased to have come across CSVed. I gave it a try, and it was just what the doctor ordered. It makes working with CSV files a breeze, and hurray, there are no annoyances! I especially like the feature that lets me view and edit column headers in a vertical view window. That alone makes it worth the download. I couldn't recommend it more highly.
