This app allows to set the value of various CSV Buddy’s controls (text fields, radio buttons, checkboxes, etc.) in order to configure a task (like open file, edit columns, save or export file, etc.) and then trigger this task as if you were clicking on a button. Replace line breaks in data fields with a marker to make your file ready to load in software (like MS-Excel) that can only load single-line fields.Īutomate tasks with CSV Messenger (included) scripting commands. Save all or selected rows to a new file using any delimiters, with header or not. Search and replace, confirm each replacement or replace all. Filter the list, search records with global or columnn search. Sort them on alphabetical or numeric values (integer or float). Get field names from the file’s header (first line) or set your own column titles. Field containing delimiters or line breaks can be embedded in various encapsulators (double-quotes, single-quotes, pipes or any character). Load files with all sorts of field delimiters (auto-detection of comma, tab, semi-colon, etc.). The freeware CSV Buddy helps you make your CSV files ready to be imported by a variety of software. Many programs will have a hard time importing these various variations of the CSV format. However, some programs export multi-line data with line breaks inside fields (try to load in Excel a CSV export from Outlook or Gmail contacts with multi-line notes text fields). Others are delimited with tab, semi-colon or a variety of characters depending on the OS. In some implementations, fields are separated by comma. Even if the CSV file format is a widely accepted standard, it is still found in multiple flavors.
