We often want to convert data from one file type to the other. Take CSV for instance. too often we want to export CSV to other formats to load data to an application that does not support CSV, or it is just convenient to do that. But what's a user to do? Until recently,we had to purchase several ad hoc software packages to export to other formats, which was costly. Also you could retype all data from a CSV database to a file in a new file type but that would be too hard and require too many efforts. Hopefully, all of that is eliminated. CSV Converter lets you convert CSV to nine common file types, such as DBF (Dbase III/IV, Visual Foxpro) , Excel (XLS,XLSX), TXT, HTML, PRG, XML, SQL, and RTF. To export a file, you just need to choose the source database, the target file type and destination directory. If there is anything in a CSV database that you do not want to be exported, the converter allows you to set a filter by example and define columns to exclude from the conversion, which gives flexibility in defining output database parameters. Once everything is selected and customized, the next step is to start the process, which is only a single click. The converter intelligently reads the source database, converts all data to a list of data fields and saves the result to the destination folder. All of this occurs without requiring your attention. Also no external drivers such as ODBC or BDE are needed. Claimed accuracy is around 100 percent. CSV converter requires no training after the installation. You can begin your first CSV export right after the installation thanks to the wizard-driven interface that takes you through all the stages of the setup process in a step-by-step fashion. In addition to exporting a single file, you can also start a batch export of more than one file in a single go. For this purpose, you should select the folder with CSV files as the source, configure conversion settings and start the export. Also although most users prefer to use the graphical user interface, some advanced users may want to do export from the command line, and the converter provides support for this function too. Once you try, you're going to see that Advanced CSV Converter offers an easy and inexpensive solution to converting your data from CSV to other file types. The converter runs under all versions of Windows, including Vista and Windows 7 (32/64-bit).
