oops, sorry if you see this twice.

The problem is that I have to eyeball every record since a great
number have different fields. I was thinking a csv editor that lets
you paste stuff and hand edit with an automatically refreshed preview
on a table would be really help full.

Basically someone typed in a bunch of addresses from a printout in to
a word doc.
I will try to make a file with the same format (its not really a
format) and with bogus data.
thanks for the tip :o)

Quoting Ed Gorman <[email protected]>:

sed /g/pattern/s/old/new

where pattern is specific text you want to look for, old is the word you
want to replace and new is the new value.  Not sure what your file looks
like, but change it so it is in csv format.  Post a sample (with names
changed to protect the innocent...  heheh) for more details  :-)

I have a big word file with many addresses/phone numbers, etc, that I'm
trying to make a csv file so I can export to other places.
I quickly tried to find a vim plug-in but no luck.
Is there any editor out there that lets me edit a regular text file and
automatically preview it as a csv displayed like a table?

Thanks
