Tutorials, guides, and workflows for using the GINEXYS tool suite.

How do I do a VLOOKUP or join CSV files online without Excel?

Use the GINEXYS Node Editor to build a visual data pipeline in your browser. Here is the step-by-step tutorial:

  • 1. Load your CSV files into the Table Formatter.
  • 2. Click the Node Editor tab in the sidebar.
  • 3. Your loaded sheets will appear as Table Nodes. Right-click on the "Out" port (the cyan color node).
  • 4. Choose Join (or VLOOKUP) from the context menu to spawn an Operator Node.
  • 5. Connect your second table to the new node, click the gear icon to select your configuration (Inner, Left, Full Outer), and run the pipeline.

For detailed technical documentation, see the Node Editor Engine Guide.

Is there a way to edit Markdown tables or HTML tables visually online?

Yes. The GINEXYS Table Formatter provides a visual, drag-and-drop grid interface. You can edit data, merge cells, and instantly export the result as clean Markdown, HTML, CSV, or SQL statements. See the Getting Started Guide for more details.

How do I convert raw unstructured text or terminal output into an HTML table?

Use the Draw Mode. You can paste raw text into the input editor, define a grid, and use Paint Mode to instantly drop text fragments into specific cells.

Is there a way to validate CSV structure and analyze column statistics locally?

Yes, the Lab Mode allows you to validate CSV and HTML tables for structural errors and apply batch transformations directly in your browser.


How can I extract a table from a scanned PDF locally without uploading it?

The GINEXYS PDF Extractor performs client-side OCR and grid-mapping to extract tabular data from PDFs directly in your browser. Your files never leave your machine, offering the security of local tools like Tabula without requiring installation.

Can I convert a PDF to HTML locally in the browser?

Yes, the PDF Extractor analyzes the structural layout of your PDF and outputs clean, editable HTML. It includes a side-by-side Visual Diff mode so you can verify the conversion accuracy before exporting. Read the Comparison Tools Documentation for advanced workflows.

Does the online schematic editor support wire tracing and Manhattan routing?

Yes, it features precise Manhattan routing for clean layouts and a Trace Mode that highlights the complete connectivity path of any selected wire, ensuring your circuit logic is sound without requiring heavy desktop software. Review the Features Documentation for tracing instructions.

Can I create ERD, sequence, or state machine diagrams online without installing software?

Yes. The Schema Editor features a unified Software Design mode for entity-relationship diagrams (ERD) with SQL export, Sequence diagrams with Mermaid export, and Finite State Machines (FSM) with XState and JSON export. All run fully in-browser with no install required.

Does the schema editor support architectural layouts and construction diagrams?

Yes, the Construction Mode supports precise coordinate systems syncing with Metric or Imperial measurements for architectural floor plans, HVAC mapping, and structural layouts.
