I found myself doing this more and more often as a data provider that most of our clients used started to drop the ball with the data they were distributing. Including things like extra comma's in descriptions, letters in monetary figures etc. I actually found Notepad++ the fastest for opening CSV's, XML etc. Nipped this in the bud quickly and made a small windows GUI that scans source files for common issues.
