CSV2HTML is a database tabulator, amalgamator and ranking tool. It can read any Comma-Separated-Value-formatted file and turn it into a webpage. It can either simply parse the CSV data into a table, or it can sum the frequency of occurence of different CSV data items in a particular column. This frequency count can be used to make "most-popular" reports. Attractive charts can be included alongside the data to give added impact and meaning.

In summation mode, CSV2HTML can also amalgamate dataitems, such that the hitcount from one item can be added to the hitcount from another. CSV2HTML can also graph the resulting list, in HTML, next to the list itself.

CSV2HTML also includes conditional summation, whereby dataitems are only included in the analysis if they start with, end with, start and end with, or exactly match a particular string (eg. /tech/ or .htm).

CSV2HTML can exclude whole columns from inclusion in its tabulated reports, and exclude specific dataitems from inclusion in its summation reports.

CSV2HTML can also simply convert textfiles to HTML.

CSV2HTML generates a detailed logfile, so its activity can be examined later.

Feature summary:

• supports up to 500 different reports, each independently customisable
• can set threshold (to eliminate noise at the bottom of the list)
• can amalgamate one line into another (in case an item was renamed)
• can conditionally compile report to include only lines starting, ending, starting and ending, or exactly matching a given string
• can exclude dataitems from reports
• attractive reports, including gradient graphs, all colours customisable
• can mark up plain text files
• can automatically embed hyperlinks
• graphs are stand-alone HTML and don't require any GIFs or other images or files to display
