CSView - A fast viewer for very large CSV files
CSView is a lightweight viewer that displays the start of a data file immediately so there’s no waiting around for very large files to load. Using very little memory CSView can comfortably open files larger than 4GB.
With copy and paste functionality and selectable delimiter support CSView provides a fast, clean and simple way to access very large CSV files.
