Description
 
Delimit is a tabular data file view and manipulation program written for the Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating systems. A tabular data file is a text file organized in rows and columns, as in a table. Typically the file is divided into columns by a parsing rule. Delimit supports two types of parsing rules: delimiter type where columns are separated by characters such as tabs or commas, and fixed column width type where each column is of specific character length.
Delimit has a very fast parsing engine allowing very large tabular data files to be quickly opened and viewed. Unlike some other programs Delimit is able to open files millions of rows or columns large. Data is read incrementally allowing files that are hundreds of MB's, even GB's, in size to be opened quickly. Delimit has a built-in file indexing feature that allows subsequent opening of files to be instantaneous. Its parsing engine is rule based and the rules are user configurable, allowing Delimit to automatically determine the right parsing rule to use for each file.
In addition to viewing, Delimit also supports searching, editing, extracting, exporting, converting, splitting up and joining tabular data files. Files can be edited and saved, or saved-as another file. They can be converted from one delimitation type to another. Parts of a file, i.e. specific rows and/or columns, can be extracted and saved into another file too. You can also define expressions that determine which rows to extract and save based on row content. Delimit can split up large tabular data files into smaller parts each with equal number of rows or columns. And you can also join smaller tabular data files, vertically or horizontally, into one large file. Familiar features like cut-copy-paste and searching with find/find-next are also available, along with book-marking for quick access to any part of the file.
