Feature request: Support CSV? #23

Open Daniel15 opened 9 years ago

Daniel15 commented 9 years ago

It would be nice to support CSV files. I had to open them in Excel and save as XLSX to compare them.

na-ka-na commented 9 years ago

Not sure - csv files can be diffed by regular text diff right? do you see value in adding csv support?

Daniel15 commented 9 years ago

I like the format that ExcelCompare shows the diff in. Regular text diffs are harder to read - I can see that some data is different, but I don't know exactly which column it is.

Might be useful to compare a CSV against a XLS, ODS, etc.

na-ka-na commented 9 years ago

Ok I'll begin work on this. Let me know if you no longer require this.

Thanks @na-ka-na!
