The viewer window consists of several parts: Once the file is processed you can rearrange columns and adjust their sizes. The lines must be separated by carriage returns (CR), line feeds (LF) or both (CRLF). Turn off the feature by selecting "Don't Show Alerts."Įither select "Open." from the File menu or drag a file from the Finder into the application's viewer window list view. If rows are encountered that do not meet this criteria the parser will skip those rows, and display an alert when parsing is complete. nView is intended for displaying rows of data which all have the same number of entries (columns) as the first row.If the file has quoted text strings the parser can remove these quotes by selecting the "Remove Quotes" option.If the file is not comma or tab separated you can specify another character by selecting "Other" from Separator menu and then entering the separator character in the adjacent text field. The file is parsed according to the value of the separator.(Note that appearance settings can be changed after the file is processed.) You can also select the color of the grid lines. The "Grid Style" determines if vertical and/or horizontal lines will be drawn to separate rows and columns.Otherwise you can select a background color of the table. Select "Alternating Background" to distinguish rows by alternating shading.Various options are available in here to control the viewer's appearance and the behavior of the parser: Open the Preferences window by clicking the preferences icon in the viewer window.

With nView you can edit the data, sort it and re-arrange the columns to print or save it. It helps you clarify textual data in graphical columnar form.ĬSV (comma-separated) and TSV (tab-separated) support, as well as the option to specify arbitrary field separators using preferences.

NView is a simple utility for viewing, editing, searching, sorting and printing character-separated textual tabular data.
