About CSV Buddy
CSV Buddy helps users prepare CSV files for import into various software, allowing them to load, save, and export files with different delimiters and customizable options. It offers a redesigned user interface with adjustable font sizes and screen scaling, the ability to merge columns using templates, and automation through scripting. CSV Buddy includes undo features, alerts for unsaved changes, and improved error messages. Its companion tool, CSV Messenger, enables scripting commands, providing advanced automation for CSV file manipulation. You can create merged fields using the application. But you can also create them as you load a CSV file, reusing the content of previous fields in each row. You can sort rows by clicking on column headers. To load a file from the command-line, add the CSV file name as the first command parameter.

Notepad
Notepad has been the fast and simple text editor on Windows for over 30 years, and now it’s available in the Microsoft Store! View, edit, and search through plain text documents and source code files instantly. Edit text-based files and source code instantly. Customize your view with font options. Save in multiple encodings including UTF-8, UTF-16, and ANSI. For Windows 10 version 19541.0 or higher. Notepad offers only the most basic text manipulation functions, such as finding and replacing text. Until Windows ME, there were almost no keyboard shortcuts and no line-counting feature. Starting with Windows 2000, shortcuts for common commands like "New", "Open", and "Save" were added, as well as a status bar with a line counter (available only when word-wrap is disabled.) Notepad can print files. It allows customizing headers, footers, and margins before printing. The date, file name, and other information can be placed in the headers and footers with various codes.

Edit CSV
Edit CSV is a free online tool that allows users to edit CSV files through a table-based user interface. It offers features such as undo/redo functionality, column sorting by clicking on header text, and the ability to rearrange rows and columns by dragging. Users can resize rows and columns, and navigate efficiently using keyboard shortcuts to move to the first cell in a row, to move to the last cell, to jump to the first cell in a column, and to reach the last cell. You can also add a line break within a cell. To delete a row or column, hover over it and click the trash icon. Double-clicking a column's resize handle adjusts its width to fit the content; double-clicking an auto-sized column sets its width to 200px, which is useful for very wide columns. It also provides a context menu accessible via right-click and supports copy-pasting using the tab key as a separator, similar to Excel.
