How to compare two csv files in windows

Question

I need to compare two csv files in windows7. How can I proceed to achieve this. I want to see the differences in both the files , like we can use tkdiff in Linux.

Answer 1

I did this today.

Lets say we have 2 csv files X and Y

X having columns a, b, c
Y having column a, b, c

The rows are not in same order and are disperesed througout the csv files.

I imported both of them in my excel sheet. I sorted them first by column c and then by column b and then by column a. You can go in any order you like.

Compare the sorted files through notepad++'s compare plugin/Beyond Compare.
