- You can now set your own icon to display near every item instead of the default icon, by changing the ItemIcon line in the CSVFileView.cfg file.
- You can load icon from .ico file, .exe file, or .dll file. for .exe and .dll files, you can specify the icon index (positive number) or the icon ID (negative number)
-
Examples:
ItemIcon=shell32.dll,-151
ItemIcon=shell32.dll,3
ItemIcon=c:\windows\regedit.exe

By default this option is turned on, but you can turn it off if you don't want to remove the trailing/leading spaces.
- Version 2.56:
- Added /Columns command-line option, which allows you to set the columns to display or export when loading a csv file from
command-line, for example:

- Version 2.20:
- Added 'Display Filter' option (F2). The display filter is somewhat similar to the SQL WHERE clause, for example... The following filter will instruct CSVFileView to display only lines with 'Yes' value in the Connected column and the 'Device Name' column contains a 'USB' string:
Connected = 'Yes' AND 'Device Name' CONTAINS 'USB'
- Added 'Load Filter' option to the 'Advanced Open' window. It's similar to the 'Display Filter' feature, but instead of filtering the file after it's already loaded , the load filter skip items during the loading process, so the file
will be loaded faster and CSVFileView will consume less memory.

- Version 2.10:
- Added 'Enable String Interning' option. When it's turned on, CSVFileView tries to detect repeating column values, and store them in memory only once, instead of
multiple times. This option can be useful if you load a large file with many repeating strings, because the memory consumption of CSVFileView will decrease dramatically.
However, the loading process will be slower than normal.
- Fixed issue: When loading a large file, some actions, like selecting items and copying selected items to the clipboard were very slow.
- When the 'After Loading File - Sort By' option is set to 'Original File Order', the loading process will be faster. (In previous versions, CSVFileView
called the sort function when it's not really needed...)

Using CSVFileView
CSVFileView doesn't require any installation process or additional dll files.
In order to start using it, simply run the executable file - CSVFileView.exe
After running CSVFileView, you can open the desired CSV/Tab-Delimited file by using the
'Open CSV\Tab-Delimited File' option (Ctrl+O) or by dragging the file from Explorer into the
main window of CSVFileView.
If the first line of the CSV/Tab-Delimited file doesn't contain the column names, you should
turn off the 'First Line Contains Column Names' option (Under the Options menu) before opening the file.
After opening the desired file, you can do the following actions:
- Sort the lines by one of the fields, simply by clicking the right column header.
If the column values are numeric, CSVFileView automatically makes a numeric sorting instead of
string sorting.
- Remove one or more columns or change their position by using the 'Choose Columns' window (F7).
You can also change the position of the columns by dragging the column headers into another position.
- Select one or more lines, or select all lines (Ctrl+A), and then saving them into
csv, comma-delimited, XML, or HTML file, by using the 'Save Selected Items' option (Ctrl+S).
You can also press Ctrl+C to copy the selected lines into the clipboard, and then paste
them into Excel.
More Options
- Unicode/Ascii Save Mode: By default, CSVFileView saves all files in Unicode,
except of csv file, which is saved as Ascii. The reason for saving csv files as Ascii is... Microsoft Excel.
That's because Microsoft Excel doesn't open properly csv files that are saved as Unicode.
You can change the default behavior, by going to Options -> Unicode/Ascii Save Mode, and then choosing
the desired save mode - Ascii or Unicode.
- Add Header Line To CSV/Tab-Delimited File:
When this option is turned on, and you export the selected lines into csv/tab-delimited file,
the first added line contains the column/field names.
- First Line Contains Column Names:
When this option is turned on, CSVFileView uses the first line of the opened csv/tab-delimited file as
the column names list.
- Automatic Numeric Sorting:
When this option is turned on, CSVFileView automatically uses numeric sorting when numeric values
are detected.
Using Quick Filter
Starting from version 2.30, there is a 'Quick Filter' feature that allows you to type one or more strings and instantly
filter the file, showing only the lines contain the strings you typed.
In order to activate and deactivate this feature, go to View -> Use Quick Filter or simply press Ctrl+Q.
After this feature is activated, you can type the desired filtering string in the text-box located under the toolbar and CSVFileView will instantly filter the result.
You can choose to filter by only one string, multiple strings (comma delimited), or multiple words (space delimited).
You can also choose whether to scan all columns or only the visible columns.
Using Filters (For Advanced Users)
Starting from version 2.20, CSVFileView allows you to apply a filter for viewing only the lines you need.
There are 2 places that you can use filter:
- Display Filter window (F2): The Filter is applied after the entire file is already loaded. When using this option, you can easily remove the filter and view again all items by switching the 'Use Display Filter' option (Ctrl+F2) or
you can press F2 again and use another filter.
- 'Advanced Open' window (Load Filter): The filter is applied while loading the file, so all lines that are filtered out by your filter are not loaded at all.
If you filter out a lot of lines with the load filter, then the file will be loaded much faster and CSVFileView will consume less memory.
A filter string of CSVFileView is somewhat similar to the SQL WHERE clause. CSVFileView currently supports the following operators:
= != > < >= <= LIKE CONTAINS BEGINSWITH ENDSWITH NOT AND OR
Here's some examples and rules for using the CSVFileView filters:
- The following filter instructs CSVFileView to display only items with 'Yes' in 'Connected' column and 'No' in 'Disabled' column:
Connected = 'Yes' And Disabled = 'No'
- Display only items with value different than 'Yes' in 'Connected' column and with 'SerialNumber' column begins with '12' string:
Connected != 'Yes' And SerialNumber BEGINSWITH '12'
- Display only items the their Filename column begins with 'f' and has more 7 characters (You can use ? and * in LIKE operator, like the wildcard of Windows):
Filename LIKE 'f???????'
- Display only items the their Filename column contains 'abc' string or 'qwe' string.
Filename CONTAINS 'abc' OR Filename CONTAINS 'qwe'
- When a column name has a space character, you must put it in quotes, for example:
'Device Name' CONTAINS 'USB'
- Starting from version 2.45, you can specify the column name without spaces, and then the quotes are not needed, for example:
DeviceName CONTAINS 'USB'
- When there are no column names, you can use 'Column1' as the first column, 'Column2' for the second column, and so on... For example:
Column1 LIKE '??34*' and Column4 = 'Yes'
- You can use the NOT operator to reverse the result, for example... This filter will display items that don't contain 'txt' string in the Filename column:
Filename NOT CONTAINS 'txt'
- You can use the > < >= <= operators with numeric values in order to filter by a range of numbers. For example, in order to display only records with ID value between 100 and 200:
ID >= 100 and ID <= 200
- Starting from version 2.45, you can also use the && and || operators instead of and/or, for example:
ID >= 100 && ID <= 200
- When mixing and/or in the same filter, you must use parentheses, for example:
(Column1 = '3' AND Column4 = 'No') OR (Column1 = '4' AND Column4 = 'Yes')
You can also apply a load filter from command-line by using /aload with other command-line options to set the 'Advanced Open' settings, for example:
CSVFileView.exe /AutoDetectChars 1 /UseLoadFilter 1 /LoadFilterStr "Column1 LIKE 'a*' " /aload C:\temp\myfile.csv
CSVFileView.exe /AutoDetectChars 1 /UseLoadFilter 1 /LoadFilterStr "Column1 = 'Yes' and Column2 = 'No' " /aload C:\temp\myfile.csv /scomma c:\temp\filtered_file.csv
Opening Web Server Log File
With CSVFileView, you can also open a log file of Apache or other Web server that generates a log file in the same format.
In order to do that, you should turn off the 'First Line Contains Column Names' option, open the
'Advanced Open' window (Ctrl+Shirt+O), type \s (space character) in the delimiter field, and "[] in the quotes field.
Choose the log file to open and then press Ok.
