Worth knowing
CSV is simple until a value contains a comma.
Quoted fields can contain commas, line breaks and quote marks. The viewer follows standard CSV quoting rather than simply splitting every line at every comma.
Utilities & Security
Paste CSV or open a file and turn the rows into a readable table before you import, convert or send it somewhere else.

This is a viewer, not a spreadsheet editor. Use it to inspect row/column structure, quoting and obvious alignment problems before moving the CSV somewhere else.

Worth knowing

Before you use it
If one row suddenly pushes values under the wrong heading, that usually points to broken quoting or an unexpected delimiter in the source file.
The annoying bit
A CSV is a perfectly sensible data format and a terrible thing to inspect as a wall of comma-separated text. Turn it back into rows and columns for a minute.
