What is the Easy CSV Editor?
The Easy CSV Editor is a powerful text editor designed specifically for CSV/TSV tables and spreadsheets. Besides editing, it can also sort, find, find and replace, filter, and much more.
The Easy CSV Editor is not a spreadsheet program. It performs no math functions.
The Easy CSV Editor is for Mac OS X, and is available at the App Store. Quite a bargain at $6.99.
