Comma Seperated Values

How can I get Textpad to load a Comma Seperated Value file, and to have it load the comma file into columns? (As if the comma's were tabs instead, so that each column is the same width)

I wrote a C program to do this for my specific purpose. The problem is, I think, knowing how wide to make each column as it has to fit the widest data in that column.

The clunky way to do it is to convert , to \t (TAB) and set the tab-size to your required maximum in configure/preference/document classes/xxx/Tabulation/Default tab spacing
