TEXTools Review

TEXTools 1.3 (Shareware, $29.00)

TEXTools (new release, April 2003) is a text processing tool for Windows that allows you to manipulate text like a pro using the same paradigm of pipes and filters that was popularized by Unix programmers. TEXTools integrates a powerful collection of text filters that can easily be combined into pipes and used to resolve those everyday text-processing problems including: automating interactive processes, modifying HTML, extracting data from logfiles, customizing text output from other programs, performing global text replacements, performing base conversions, constructing tables, removing duplicate data, converting fixed-length data to comma-delimited and vice versa, formatting mailing lists -- all this and more by simply combining filters! Pipes can be constructed and executed interactively from TEXTools' graphical user interface or at the console prompt. They can also be utilized from batch files, scripting languages such as VBScript and from programs written in languages such as Visual Basic, Delphi, C+
