CSV-Editor V0.8

[funkey]

Hello friends!

My new script is used to edit CSV-files.

Just doubleclick the entries you want to edit!

Add CRLF to itemtext with Ctrl+{Enter}

Now you can create new files.

Have fun!

CSV-Editor V0.8a.au3

Edited December 15, 2021 by funkey
Changed to make it run with actual version of AutoIt

[ReFran]

Looks good so far.

Some hints:

- @desktopwidth/... or at least a smaler width/hight as 800/800 (e.g. 600/600) would avoid as first to have to edit.

- I would await, drag and drop for files, row up/row down, row delete, row or col to clip and sorting.

Excel produced csv files use @lf as cell seperator and @cr as line end seperator.

So it doesn't work very well for that.

However, thanks for your work on that.

Best regards, Reinhard

No more comments?

[wraithdu]

Looks pretty good. It messes up a bit on Google's contacts CSV format, specifically a multiline address or fields that contain the delimiter (these fields are enclosed in quotes but contain commas, for example), but that may be a bit non-standard.

I noticed one bug, after saving a new column heading, the numbered index column is shown regardless of the setting.

Edited April 5, 2010 by wraithdu

[funkey]

Thanks wraithdu for your comment! Give me a sample of a Google's contacts CSV file so I can find a solution for this.

TIA

[wraithdu]

Here's an example. It's easy to make up one on your own as well. Just create a field that has the delimiter in it and quote it. Also create a field that has a line break and quote it... this is gonna be tougher cause it actually splits the line. This example has the delims and line break in the same quoted field - this is a single record!

A possible solution would be a custom parser that looks for quotes and treats anything within quotes as a single field.

Hi funkey,

Hint:

This issue is well known at the SQL command "LOAD DATA INFILE". There you can define (example):

LOAD DATA INFILE [...] FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','  OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'  [...]

This means that if a field is enclosed by double quotes all characters between the double quotes will be recognized as the content of the field regardless if a cahracter is a field (or line) delimiter. Maybe you can implement this in your CSV Editor.

@ProgAndy

Nice indeed.

@Funkey

You'll also have to rework your listview to handle the possibility of multiline fields.

[funkey]

Thanks wraithdu for the sample of the gmail contact file.

And special thanks to progandy for his great functions!

The function does not work correctly, for example wraithdu's string returns only one row for me.

Also it is quite slow parsing big files and I have troubles embedding this to my CSV-Editor, maybe you can have a look at the actual beta file?

Thx.

I found nothing to create a multiline-listview. Everywhere there is the same answer to the question: Try the ownerdrawn style, but nowhere is an example how to do this.

So I decided to show the item-text like this: "line1�line2�line3"

Edited April 8, 2010 by funkey

[ProgAndy]

If you take the current parser-functions, it works:

Func _CSVReadToArray($sFile, $sSeparator = ";", $sQuote = '"')
    Return _ParseCSV($sFile, $sSeparator, $sQuote)
EndFunc

For me, the function seems to be quite fast.

Edit: with v0.6, a CSV including quotes multiline requires 560 milliseconds to load incorrect, with my _ParseCSV, 200ms are required

Thank you very much progandy! Now your edited function works very well! I was able to integrate your function into my project!

Thanks guys. I found this code to parse a CSV just when I needed it.

Actually, what I really needed was something that worked just like StringSplit, except it actually understood CSV format. So I took all the smart parsing code from _ParseCSV and boiled it down to a simpler form. It doesn't work on a file, just on a string you pass to it. That way I can use it on any string I want, or feed it only the lines I select from a file. Also, it only returns a 1 dimensional array, with the first element ($array[0]) containing the number of elements found - just like StringSplit returns. This makes it almost a "drop-in" replacement for StringSplit.

Thought I'd share in case it might be useful to anyone else. Although most of the credit goes to ProgAndy for coming up with that cool parsing code!

P.S.: I don't know what's going on with the indentation on the code I pasted in below. There must be something I'm just not getting about how to insert code into a forum message.

I know it is a bit old, but I use it and I have some functions that can improve the functionality (I didn't start another thread because funkey, ProgAndy, wraithdu etc did a great job on this one):

- there is no need to enter the delimiter used in CSV (at least with the files I have used so far)

- filtering by column or by value etc.

;
; Some functions for working with CSV files...
; after using funkey's CSV Editor (http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=110463&view=findpost&p=775767)
; SOME NOTES:
; - you don't need to specify the delimiter;
; - if you use them, comment/delete _ArrayDisplay(...) from the function; this was only for testing and for some examples
; - array returned is array[row][col], with row and col starting at 1, not zero
; - any sugestions/critics are welcome!
; - make changes to fit your needs
