# CSVQuickViewer

This is a Windows application to view delimited text or Json files. Json files are flattened to fit in tabular format.

It’s designed to be robust and easy to use.

The application has a MSI installer that does not need administrative right. 

The application can:

* Determine the appropriate Code Page (teh .NET 7 version deos not support as mayn code tables, by now some are rarely used)

* Determines the Field Delimiter & Record Separator

* Determine the Quoting Character

* Determine Escape Characters

* Determine Comment Text

* Determine the Start Row skipping comment lines

* Configurable handling of quotes, support exotic quoting like context senitive quoting

* Issues warning for column content that that does contain certain characters like Nonbreaking Space, Unknown Text placeholders, quotes or delimiters, as these chars can cause issues in other text parsers.

* Use typed values in contrast to text values (Switching between typed and text values in UI), it does currently check 386 date formats. 

* Support for basic HTML and Markdown handling

* Display of text file

* Support for Zip, gZip and PGP files (does not properly support display of raw file)

* Issues warning for column content cannot be parsed with the current setting e.g. a date in different format.

* Ability to combine Date and Time columns to a combined Date/Time column with support of time zone conversion, either by third column or fixed value.

* Automated re-alignment of columns in case a delimiter causes issues with column alignment (configurable, default off)

* Automated re-alignment of column in case a linefeed pushes columns into the next line (configurable, default off)

* Filtering of Columns

* Sorting of Columns

* Hiding/Reordering Columns

* Above column configuration can be saved and loaded

* Incremental Searching and highlighting for Text (This feature is rather slow, better use filtering)

* Display of Column Length

* Display of Hierarchy inside the file

* Display Duplicates Values

* Display Unique Values

* Filter for rows / columns with warnings

* HTML Copy and Paste for storing cut values in Excel / Word,  retaining value types

* Ability to store the filtered data into delimited text file
