CSV Editor plugin for Eclipse

Feel free to clone, edit, build and release (just update version and/or name of your fork, so make it clear for users) or ask for push access here. Tell about new fork by adding new issue. I will happily put a link to the new repo.

This repository is a fork of https://code.google.com/p/csvedit/ created by Mathieu Savy in 2104. It contains the latest functionalities available for CSVEdit but most of the new features are still being tested. If you look for a more reliable version of the plugin you should probably visit the original repository.

• The previous stable release 1.1.3 was available on Eclipse Marketplace.
• The version available in this repository is 1.2.x

The intention was to contribute features from here to the original repository once they are mature.

CSVEdit make CSVFile edition easier.

• Edit from the source editor

  The source editor has been enhanced to help you differentiate your data from the different column using a color mechanism

• Edit from a table view representing the csv data

  The table editing is definitely the added value of the plugin and allows a bunch of operation on your csv file among the following features

  • Easy editing of data
  • Insertion and deletion of table rows
  • Insertion and deletion of table column
  • Filtering of data
  • Customize view with hidding/display of column to simplify the view
  • Manage your column with moving/resizing columns
  • Sorting data in column
  • Manage your own CSV settings

Optional maven/tycho build was added in 2017 by Paul Verest.

In the new CSVEdit version, it is now possible to edit a row in a form.

And even specify columns containing multiple values and their delimiter.

To do so, go in preferences/CSV Editor Preferences:

• in header regex put a regex matching a part of all column headers you want to display as a table. For instance, the picture below uses the regex (customer|order_id).
• in delimiter to use as value delimiter, put the delimiter separating each value in your cell.
