Validate the format of a Fielded Text or CSV file.

FTValid is a windows command line program which can be used to validate the format/structure of a Fielded Text or CSV file.Sometimes, CSV files are generated by hand or may be generated by programs which do not correctly encode the contents of fields in the file. Such a file may not be able to be parsed correctly. By validating the file's format it may reduce the time (and frustration) involved with other people using such files.FTValid uses a Fielded Text Meta file to define the format/structure of the CSV file. This Meta file is an XML file which specifies the fields and attributes of the CSV file.Some CSV files also have one or more fields which form a key to the records in the file. Together, these fields need to be unique across all records in the file. FTValid can also check the uniqueness of a set of fields in the file.
