TableButler - Edit

Large data tables - more than 65536 lines or more than 255 columns - can not be loaded  completely into e.g. MS Excel.
Normal text editors (MS-Notepad or MS Wordpad) can handle such large data files but it is difficult to recognize the column structure.

On the Edit-tab you can use the spread sheet to perform very basic table editing functions. The first selected file is used in the Edit-Tab

• Editing of cells
• Copy, Cut, Delete, Paste rows / columns.
  Right click with mouse on Row/Column headers and select from context menu:
  
  The option Copy to allows to directly copy contents between columns / rows without using clipboard. especially useful when copying long (>10000 cells) columns / rows).
• Go to line number, Find text pattern
  Click edit button adn select from context menu:
  

TableButler can edit data tables with several thousand of columns and / or 100000s of rows.
Nevertheless, the data grid consumes large amounts of computer memory ( >6x the data file size on disk).
Thus check your file size and computer's memory before trying and while (task manger) loading really huge tables (>50 Megabyte).

HINT:
With Windows XP, a maximum of 2 GigaByte of memory is given to any application under default settings. If an application requires more RAM you can modify the Windows start command in "c:\boot.ini" to something like:

which would ensure, that each application can consume up to 2.99 GByte of RAM. For more details about these switches see:
