Working with CSV in EmEditor

We have authored a guide that explains the CSV-related features in EmEditor. The purpose of this document is to assist you in locating all the necessary tools for effectively working with CSV files in EmEditor. The document also includes a comparison of the CSV size limits between EmEditor and Excel.

We also tested EmEditor and Excel in the categories of Opening files, Replacing, and Sorting. The test results demonstrated that EmEditor outperformed Excel by a margin of 14 to 40 times in all the tested categories.

For comprehensive details, please refer to our guide titled “Working with CSV in EmEditor” (PDF).

Text Editor Speed Comparison for Large Files

We published a Text Editor Speed Comparison in April 2009. However, numerous text editors have undergone significant updates and improvements since then. As a result, we have decided to conduct speed tests once again.

For this round of testing, we selected seven text editors known for their ability to support very large files, including EmEditor. We assessed these editors in various categories: Opening files, Searching, Replacing, Sorting, Saving, and Searching within Files. The test outcomes demonstrated that EmEditor outperformed the other editors by a margin of 2 to 187 times in all the tested categories.

You can find the detailed results in our Text Editor Speed Comparison (PDF).
