Light text editor for CSV file?

CSVed - at 1MB it seems pretty light.

Note that as of version 2.2.1 it has trouble opening large CSV files.

  • a 4,000,000 row, 313 column, LF terminated CSV simply gives a "File is empty" warning
    • reduced to ~1000 rows it opens, but drops columns 227 - 313
    • reduced to 1 row, it still drops columns 227 - 313

I have written a product called Ron's Editor which you might want to look at. I am always interested in making it more useful/powerful so I would be interested in your feedback.

Ron's Editor is a powerful CSV file editor. It can open any format of separated text, including the standard comma and tab separated files (CSV and TSV), and allows total control over their content and structure.

With a clean and neat interface Ron's Editor is also ideal to simply view and read CSV, or any text delimited, files.

Ron's Editor is the ultimate CSV editor, whether you need to edit a CSV file, clean some data, or merge and convert to another format, this is the ideal solution for anyone who regularly works with CSV files.
