An easy way to view delimited files....

Post by Minhajuddin »

Hi all,

I have been using a utility which I created in dot Net to view delimited files in an organised way. Here is the link to it

Works great for reasonable sized files. If you could tweak it to handle huge files it would be great for users who work on windoze. Something like read the first x rows and produce it on the screen while still reading the rest of the rows in the back ground.
All in all, great work.

I feel on Cloud number nine, Not because I created something great. But, because people find it useful. Thank you very much for all your comments. Please feel free to give feedback on this, I'll try to make the changes you guys want to see.

Once again Thanks for all the encouraging comments.

Hi Minhajuddin,
Good job and thanks for sharing it with the community....

One item for the Wishlist:-
Support for "multi-char" delimiter strings... ("|~"), to imitate the delimiter_string option in the sequential file stage.


Thanks again....
