With service build 569 of PrimalScript 2007 we added a COM object that makes it easier to deal with CSV (comma separated values) data and/or files.
While browsing through posts at ScriptingAnswers.com and some of Microsoft’s scripting related newsgroups I couldn’t help but notice that questions regarding CSV keep coming up.
I mentioned this to one of our engineers, Stephen Poon, and he created this object that can edit and display CSV files really easily.
The following script is a PowerShell sample, a VBScript sample is included with PrimalScript 2007 (any edition) and the free PrimalToys download at our Free Tools Site
$CSVEdit = New-Object -comObject “SAPIEN.CSVEditor”
$CSVEdit.FirstRowColumnNames = $True
$CSVEdit.DataStartRow = 1
$CSVEdit.ReadOnly = $True
$CSVEdit.Title = “Current Processes Summary”
$CSVEdit.Label=”Processes:” #Text Label for the Grid
get-process | Export-Csv “C:\Temp\process.csv”
$CSVEdit.FileName = “C:\Temp\process.csv”
$CSVEdit.LoadFile()
$CSVEdit.ShowDialog()
Running this will produce this dialog:
The object includes a number of methods to insert, remove, extract columns rows or fields with or without displaying the UI.
Check it out and head over to our Free Tools forum at

and let us know what you think and if there is anything we should add.
I do not believe this
