For anyone who needs to edit CSV / tabular text files
About Rons Data Edit
Rons Data Edit is a professional CSV / tabular text Editor for Windows.
The CSV Editor provides a wealth of tools and features designed to flexibly manipulate data. Ideal to remove duplicates and split or merge columns or rows. The interface is modern, clean, and user-friendly and the power and speed of the application allow the handling of large files with ease.
Unlike Excel, the Editor knows that the data is text and does not try to 'adjust' it and introduce workflow interruption with confusing errors. A perfect alternative to Excel for handling CSV data files.
If additional power is needed, Rons Data Edit can run Rons Data Stream 'Cleaners' to run lists of operations in multiple data files. For more information, a complete list of features, a lite free version and a Pro Trial, are available on the Rons Place Software website.

Rons Data Stream
Rons Data Stream is a windows application designed to clean, or update, multiple data sources within seconds, whatever the size of the files, through the use of Cleaners.
"Cleaners" are made up of a list of operations that are selected from a broad list of Column, Row and Cell processing rules. They can be built, saved and applied to as many data sources as required, and re-used with as many Jobs as needed. The Preview window displays both the original data and a preview of the processed data. The result of each rule is therefore very clear and comprehensible.
"Jobs" contain all the detail needed for batch processing allowing 100's of data files to be processed in one go, making cleaning a whole directory an easy task.
Rons Data Stream handles tabular text formats (CSV, HMTL, XML files and tokenized formats), SQL and Parquet, from loading to converting. It can work individually or hand in hand with Rons Data Edit, adding power to both applications.
