TextPipe Pro 8.1.10 is a Search Tool product from crystalsoftware.com.au, get 5 Stars SoftSea Rating, TextPipe Pro is a multi-award winning, industrial strength text transformation, conversion, cleansing and extraction workbench.
One tool - One point of maintenance. With TextPipe you specify all your text processing functions in one place, rather than remembering and managing multiple manual jobs across various text editors, command line tools, custom scripts and Word and Excel macros.
TextPipe Pro should be able to provide fast text manipulation and data extraction. You can use it to perform multiple searches and replacements on a batch of files, search for duplicates, format source code and HTML and so on. Virtually every text operation can be accomplished with this software.
You can apply combinations of 200 different filtering operations to text and binary files. Replacements can be restricted to line and column ranges, HTML tags and more. Convert more than 145 Unicode and 151 code page encodings.
TextPipe Pro is a bit slower than other text editors in text searching and replacement operations. However, it does have the advantage of being able to process large files without locking the user interface. I compared the software with the open source Notepad++, on a 4 MB text file. I performed a simple search and replace operation using a regex expression. TextPipe Pro took 2 minutes and 29 seconds to finish the job.
TextPipe makes it fast and easy to convert, transform and re-purpose data in text files, including
HTML, XML and other structured documents from the WWW
Fixed length or delimited files (CSV, Tab, Pipe, etc)
Unix, Mainframe and PC/Windows end-of-line formats
Inside Zip files, and the new Microsoft Office 2007 formats DOCX, XLSX, PPTX
ASCII, ANSI, Unicode and EBCDIC files
Security log files from firewalls, web servers etc
EDIFACT, HL7, SWIFT and other structured formats
Spooled print files
Structured and unstructured reports of any size or dimension
Seven Reasons Why TextPipe is Different
TextPipe is exceptionally fast
TextPipe handles files of unlimited size, even files larger than 2 Gigabytes! Other applications attempt to load the entire file into memory (grinding your system to a halt).
TextPipe's unique restrictions control precisely where changes are made. Restrict to a range of lines or columns, to specific Tab or CSV fields, between HTML/XML tags, and inside custom ranges. Restrictions can be combined, for example, to columns 1-10 of lines matching a pattern. Restrictions are essential for extensive but controlled search and replace
TextPipe performs multiple operations simultaneously. Other applications offer only 1, up to 5, or require a slow multi-pass approach
If TextPipe's 100+ filters don't suit your needs, you can use industry standard VBScript/JScript to write your own. Other applications either don't offer this facility, or force you to learn a proprietary language
TextPipe is unique in offering the EasyPattern pattern matching language for those not familiar with text pattern matching (regular expressions). EasyPatterns are English-like and very easy to learn
TextPipe can be scheduled for non-interactive use, and can be controlled by an external program. Other applications provide only a mouse interface.
