FTEditor

FTEditor is a handy tool that helps you change the format and layout of data in fielded text files, like CSVs. Fielded text is a standard way to organize text files that include tables of values. If you often deal with these types of files, FTEditor can really help!

Quick Installation

Installing FTEditor is a breeze! You just need to unpack the archive wherever you want on your computer, and you're good to go. Once you launch it, you'll see a classic-looking interface packed with features and options.

User Interface

Now, while the interface can be resized to fit your screen, it might feel a bit cluttered at first. There are so many settings to check out that it can be overwhelming for new users. Plus, there's not much of a Help section available, which might leave some folks scratching their heads.

View Options

Even though the layout could use some sprucing up, one cool thing about FTEditor is that it lets you see both the text content and tables at the same time in separate panels. This makes it easier to find what you need when editing either tables or text since you can highlight sections quickly.

Generating Meta Files

The main goal of FTEditor is to help create Meta files. These are basically XML files or streams that explain how your fielded text is set up and how the data in your tables looks. Think of them as similar to the Meta information from a database where your data came from.

Give It a Try!

If you're someone who regularly works with fielded text or CSV files and wants an easy way to create or modify Meta information, then give FTEditor a try!
