A viewer and editor for CSV and TSV files, built for Ubuntu with Qt. It draws only the rows on screen, so files with 100,000 rows or more scroll smoothly, and it works out the delimiter and the text encoding for you.

Click a header to sort; prices, percentages and plain numbers sort as numbers. Type in the filter bar to narrow every column at once, or one column, with case matching and regular expressions if you want them.
