TextMaster 2.0.2954

TextMaster is a powerful and reliable software tool for rapid analyzes and processing of fixed length or delimited text files.
Features include: checking each record for line length, relevant file dates (created, last modified and last accessed) and provides you with the relevant statistics. SQL features provided by TMQL offer very powerful way for a text file viewing and processing where every line is viewed as collection of the fields rather than one unstructured set of characters.
The results of the processing can be logged into an unlimited number of user definable logs and/or stored in profiles for future comparison with other files of unknown origin. An input file can be sliced and diced within minutes depending upon the users defined criteria.
Processing of files is breathtakingly fast. For example, a data file with 1 Million lines (99 bytes per line, fixed size) is processed within one minute on Intel Pentium 3.0 with 512 KB RAM. Majority of the Text Master functionality is divided into five groups:
- File Check
- Text File Export
- Logging
- Profiling
- SQL
File Check � scans every line of the specified file and determines its length, reports number of lines for each particular length and displays the line length statistics. At the end of the process, general file information is reported, as well:
- File length in bytes
- Date when it was created
- Date when it was last time modified
- Date when was the last time the file was accessed, and
- Shows if file is read only or not
Once the file is selected, the file type (fixed or delimited) is automatically detected but this information can be overwritten, if needed. If file is delimited, delimiter will be determined as well.
Text File Export � exports specified number of Input File Lines into the Output File. The Output file can be overwritten or information can be added at the end of the existing file.
Number of lines which needs to be exported, as well as the starting position within the input file (from which the export should start), is completely under the user control.
The lines can be exported in sequential order starting from user specified position.
Export can be done in random order while the system by itself determines number of lines to be exported randomly, based on the parameters specified by the user.
More advanced exporting can be performed by SQL INSERT command.
Logging � Logging values related to the file processed can be stored into unlimited number of logs that should previously be defined. Number of entries per log is unlimited.
Profiling � allows storing general information about files into unlimited number of profiles.
Main purpose of storing profile information is to be able to determine type of the file which is processed by using the file size check results and compare them against values stored in profile(s) with one click of the button.
SQL � SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT and DELETE commands can be performed directly on the text file.
