Buckwheat CSV

A viewer for (big) CSV files.

Why this program is useful

This program is useful if:

• You want to preview a CSV file.
• The file is too big for Microsoft Excel or LibreOffice Calc, or it takes too much time to open the file in one of these programs.

Buckwheat CSV:

• Will not load the whole file into memory.
• Does not have a limit on the size of the file. However, there is a limit on the number of rows that can be displayd in a grid (see below).

Limitations

• Maximum number of rows that can be displayed in a grid is 2,147,483,647. If a file has more rows, only first 2,147,483,647 rows are displayed, and the user is notified.
• CSV files must be UTF-8 encoded.
