Windows Csv Editor
I deal with CSV files all the time. I have been using excel, but it's not really made for csv's. Is there a program out there that deals with just csv's and data shaping?

in my opinion openoffice (libre office) are far better and have way more capabilities.
SebCsv Editor Download
SebI have written a product called Ron's Editor which you might want to look at. I am always interested in making it more useful/powerful so I would be interested in your feedback.
Quattro Pro, Open Office.org Calc (Libre Office), Lotus Symphony Spreadsheets and PlanMaker Mobile are some great csv editors and spreadsheet programs.
Here are there details: A Collection of Free Spreadsheet Programs
Hope this helps.
AlphaMaleAlphaMaleI have to manage a lot of string data in my job, and using spreadsheet programs can be trouble unless you take great care to stop if from guessing data types.
Most of the time I do use MS Excel. But occasionally I'll drop into CSVed, such as when I have a field that exceeds the character limit. The reason I prefer MS Excel is because most of the time inline editing of a field is much faster than the way CSVed has you do it.

Are there any good lightweight CSV viewers out there? I would like something that easily refreshes a file after it has been modified. A quick google search didn't turn up any clear winners.
I'd prefer not to have to open Excel each time since it locks the file. This prevents any other programs from updating the file.

This is for viewing only, using Powershell...

For additional sorting and filtering options, pipe through where-object and sort-object cmdlets
I use Nirsoft's CSVFileView. It is a simple lightweight read-only csv viewer.
Note: due to password recovery tools on Nirsoft's site many virus checkers will block executables downloaded from there.
Matthew LockIf your system has Cygwin, column -t in a terminal window is what I like to use.
In order to update with changes to the original as you requested, you can combine it with the watch command:
These threads both point to CSVed:
I tried it and had some issues with larger files (4000000 rows) with lots of columns (313), so YMMV.
I usually just use the BSD column utility. It's part of the 'util-linux' package on windows:
You could try Ron's Editor - it will do what you want, is MUCH better than Excel for editing CSV files IMHO (that's why I wrote it), and I will let you decide if its light enough ;-)
akmozoBeacuse I was unhappy with how Excel displays CSV files, I produced a small executable designed to display CSV files. I recently made it available at http://csvquickviewer.com/It’s only available for Windows because its writing in .NET
It does not need configuration but allows filtering, searching etc.
jub0bsFinally find one can instantly open large files, and automatically detect the delimiter: The V File Viewer from http://www.fileviewer.com/ 20 days free trial. $20 to buy.
Another one, which is extremely fast and also automatically detect the delimiter is Delimit from http://delimitware.com 15 days free trail. $49 / year. Kind of expensive.
I believe there are Free excel viewers out there on Microsoft's site. And I think the native wordpad/write can also open up CSV files.
If you just want to look at the file, why not use a text editor? The better ones will notice a refresh and prompt you if you want to reload the file. However, they won't separate the values out into different columns for you; they will only display the contents. Both UltraEdit and TextPad have been reliable for me in the past.
OKFN's DataPipes SaaS Tool is an option for using in-browser.
GitHub automagically renders CSV into tables, providing another in-browser option, along with more functionality.
