CsvTool analyzes, verifies, and transforms CSV (comma-separated value) data. CsvTool handles text and binary files and allows any 8-bit character to be used for field and record delimiters and quotes.

Both backslash and doubled-quote escape rules are supported. Any size fields, any size records, and any number of fields per record are allowed. It optionally exports input data in a CSV format into a different output format.

Here are some key features of "CsvTool":
The perfect tool to use when you're not sure how a CSV file is formatted or whether it contains formatting errors. (Easy enough to check with a text file of a hundred-or-so lines, but impossible for larger or binary files without something like CsvTool.)
A necessity before loading important data into a database or spreadsheet.
Runs as a standalone application on Windows, Mac OS X, UNIX, Linux, FreeBSD, and any other system that supports Java 1.4.2 or later.
Shareware: free for tax-exempt charitable and educational institutions; $25 per copy for everyone else. (Free for everyone during the beta period.)
Handles any field and record delimiters or quotes. All characters (0 - 255) are allowed as delimiters, quotes, or in field data.
Handles any number of fields per record, any size fields, and any size records.
