A package for Sublime Text 2 for converting CSV data to other formats

Primary LanguagePython

Sublime DataConverter

This Sublime Text package converts csv files to various other formats. It's been adapted from the wonderful Mr. Data Converter.

After installing, you'll find commands look like DataConverter: to foo in the Command Palette. DataConverter will convert a selection or multiple selections. If nothing is selected, the entire document is converted.

Examples

Turn this:

NAME,VALUE,FRUIT,DATE
Alice,10,Apple,"Sep. 12, 2012"
Bob,11,Blueberry,"Sep. 13, 2012"
Chris,12,Orange,"Sep. 14, 2012"

into this (Ruby):

[{"NAME"=>"Alice", "VALUE"=>10, "FRUIT"=>"Apple", "DATE"=>"Sep. 12, 2012"},
{"NAME"=>"Bob", "VALUE"=>11, "FRUIT"=>"Blueberry", "DATE"=>"Sep. 13, 2012"},
{"NAME"=>"Chris", "VALUE"=>12, "FRUIT"=>"Orange", "DATE"=>"Sep. 14, 2012"}];

or this (JSON):

  {"FRUIT": "Apple", "NAME": "Alice", "VALUE": "10", "DATE": "Sep. 12, 2012"},
