Daily at work I need to deal with very large csv files. At times I need to open these files and manually verify and debug info. I’ve been using excel and libre office which both seem to be very slow, and tend to crash more often than not. I was wondering if there are any better csv viewers out there for very large csv files. I’m looking for something that runs on mac os x.
I’m on Windows, last time I needed something like that (though mine needed a hex display rather than plain text, as I was messing with binary files) I found it was easier to write it to make it exactly what I wanted. I made it to only display a very small amount of the file (a window full) so that file size wasn’t relevant.
I’ve always used http://csved.sjfrancke.nl/ (Windows), it’s opened CSV’s that are many mb’s big.
Maybe try using PhpMyAdmin and importing the CSV file into a temporary database table?
