I seem to be having the worst luck trying to get a suitable 2da editor that will work in Vista. First I tried the 2daEditor, but it truncates row numbers that have five digits (printing 1...). I also tried tlkedit2, but that didn't work. (I code in Java 1.6, so it should have run okay.) There was another I tried, but that failed as well. (Can't recall the name at the moment; sorry.)

Does anybody have a favorite recommendation that I might try?

Personally I use MS Excel for 2DA edits.

Excel is great for the editing, but I find it messes up the rows when it saves so if you want then to open them in something else they're all nasty.



Personally, I just use Notepad.

Heh, funny. Okay I'll try those, or maybe a hex editor. Thanks.

I use Excel. It's very easy to move around, has powerful editing features, and is stable. Just make sure you save as CSV and preserve the 2DA header to avoid formatting problems.

I use VI for quick edits and file diffs, but if you're making wholesale changes or trying to correct errors, Excel is perfect for that. I had an alignment problem in a 2DA file with thousands of entries. I just can't imagine how I could have fixed that w/o Excel.

save as tab delimited, csv will cause issues.



The reason it messes up is the tabs, a 2da will work with both tabs and spaces. Pretty sure they added tab support so the devs could use excel to set up the 2da's.

You're right, pain. The correct option is called "tab-delimited" in the file formats drop down.

Thanks for catching that.

The only real issue I have with Excel is that sometimes, the 2das have multiple tabs between columns (normally I use spaces myself anyway) and when you save, it only saves with one. So, the columns get messed up. Not a deal if you only ever use Excel, though.



Seriously, though, except for a couple of things like padding (and opening and re-saving from the Electron toolset fixes things like that), I don't feel the need to get any special software when Notepad easily does the trick.

Well I have StarOffice rather than Excel, but I'll give that a go and see how well it works. Thank you for the advise.

I just couldn't get that to work for me. Not sure why. Thanks.
