TextPipe Pro 8.2.2 is an industrial strength text transformation workbench for data conversion and mining, electronic publishing and website maintenance. It is trusted by over 1500 customers in 56 countries to:

• Convert between a variety of mainframe and PC data formats
• Fix data extracts
• Extract data from legacy databases
• Reformat and standardize electronic text and program source code
• Data Mine Unstructured Mainframe Reports and Online Web Data
• Split files or join files together
• Update web sites

TextPipe's unmatched power comes from its arsenal of 100+ manipulation filters, its unique architecture and its tremendous flexibility in combining these filters to suit each task.

• Make multiple changes to multiple files in just one pass (eg 50 changes across 1 million files)
• Restrict changes to line or column ranges, Tab or CSV field ranges, lines matching a pattern, inside and between HTML tags and other criteria
• Fix text or binary files of any size - even files larger than 10 Gigabytes!

TextPipe 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.

What does TextPipe do? 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

TextPipe also works with binary files, however for Word documents (.doc) see WordPipe, for Excel spreadsheets (.XLS) see ExcelPipe, for PowerPoint presentations (.PPT) see PowerPointPipe and for databases see DataPipe. For mining of web sites using TextPipe, see WebPipe.

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.

TextPipe will save you time, frustration and money. It will fix text data, regardless of the number of changes required, the size or number of files, and the complexity of the transformations.

It is trusted by over 1500 customers in 56 countries to:

• Convert Huge Files Quickly and Easily
• Data Mine Unstructured Mainframe Reports and Online Web Data
• Cleanse and Reformat Electronic Text
• Update Web Sites
• Perform Data Warehouse ETL (Extract-Transfer-Load) Tasks Extract from Databases to XML, CSV, Tab Split and Join Huge Files
• Convert Between a Variety of Mainframe, PC and Unicode Data Formats and Encodings
• Pre-processing training data for SMT (Statistical Machine Translation)
  and 1001 other uses.

TextPipe provides a single point of maintenance for all your text processing tasks. You learn one tool, rather than learning 4 or more - and their associated languages, command line options, debugging schemes, idiosyncrasies and operating system differences and dependencies. TextPipe is far less costly to learn, use, develop with and maintain than cobbling together multiple generic tools and custom scripts to achieve one end. It's a Swiss army knife combining the best of perl, awk, grep, sed, and many other less common text processing tools. You'll be productive with TextPipe in minutes, not days.

TextPipe's unmatched power comes from its arsenal of 100+ manipulation filters, its unique architecture and its tremendous flexibility in combining these filters to suit each task. Intuitive line, column, field, tag and attribute restrictions make fixing data extracts simple. You can extract and then modify data from databases, in delimited, XML and SQL Insert Script formats. You can roll your own custom filters using industry standard VBScript and JScript. With TextPipe you can create your own conversions, and deploy them for execution at remote sites. A single click merges files (even those larger than 10 GB), another click extracts emails addresses, and another click sorts and removes duplicates. Try doing that with less than 100 lines of code, in less than 10 seconds!

TextPipe can operate on files, the clipboard, or a trial run area with sample data, which is very handy for testing filters. TextPipe provides context menus (right-click menus) on every field to Cut/Copy/Paste/Clear/Select All, escape special characters, insert common patterns, find and replace, and save to and load from a file. Filters can be inserted inside each other, or they can be linked at runtime to other filters, allowing common modules to be reused.

Major Features;

TextPipe Lite 8.2.3 is a tool that searches and replaces your entire website (even millions of files!) quickly and easily! Loved by home users, webmasters and novice computer users alike!

TextPipe Lite provides a range of very powerful filters at a greatly reduced cost. The Lite edition provides End Of Line conversion between DOS/Mac/Unix files. If the Lite edition does not fully meet your needs, the Standard Edition or Pro Edition can be purchased as a form of upgrade.

TextPipe is the ultimate Webmaster tool for updating text. It handles an unlimited number of files and folders, and is unique in handling files of unlimited size. It performs one or more changes AT THE SAME TIME, and can search for MULTI-LINE text and special characters. Search for fuzzy text patterns using popular perl-style regular expressions, and friendly EasyPatterns, with predefined patterns for [Whitespace], [Date], [Time], [IPAddress], [EmailAddress] and more.

TextPipe is unique in that you can restrict replacements to line ranges, column ranges and also to HTML elements such as within the ALT tag of an image, or within the CONTENT attribute of the META KEYWORDS tag, or just within the TITLE tag. The possibilities are endless, and restrictions can be nested. You have to see these to understand just how powerful they are!

TextPipe can also convert files between Unix, Mac and PC/Windows end of line formats, Remove blanks from the Start or End of each line, Remove blank lines, Remove HTML tags, Add line numbers, File Headers and Footers, and text to the start or end of each line and more.

TextPipe can be automated from the command line and via COM scripting from other programming languages. A Standard and Pro version are also available.

More than 200 example filter files are included along with a comprehensive online manual. It is the winner of SIA "Best Application" award.

TextPipe Pro 8.3.2 is an industrial strength text transformation workbench for data conversion and mining, electronic publishing and website maintenance.

It is a powerful text-processing utility that combines 270+ conversion, transformation, extraction and report mining operations on multiple text or binary files. Update web sites using multi-line EasyPattern or perl-style regular expression search and replace, and Unicode find and replace with patterns.

Control precisely where changes occur by restricting changes to line or column ranges, XML and HTML tags and attributes, CSV- or tab-delimited fields, lines that match or do not match a pattern and combinations of these (e.g. find and replace just inside the ALT text of an IMG tag, or columns 20-40 of lines 1-10).

Data mine mainframe reports, and convert foreign computer systems files between mainframe EBCDIC fixed-length formats and DOS, Macintosh and Unix line-feed formats. Convert between Unicode formats and 150+ other text encodings such as Japanese Shift-JIS and Chinese BIG5.

Filters can split or join files, add or remove lines or columns, remove blanks from the start or end of each line, remove blank lines, remove HTML tags, remove duplicate lines, add line numbers, sort, word wrap, convert between ASCII and EBCDIC, OEM and ANSI, Unicode and ANSI, remap ANSI (8 bit) or Unicode (16 bit or 32 bit) characters, extract email addresses and URLs, expand or contract tabs, remove binary characters, pad or truncate or force lines or fields to a set width, generate word lists and much more.

TextPipe's unmatched power comes from its arsenal of 100+ manipulation filters, its unique architecture and its tremendous flexibility in combining these filters to suit each task.

• Make multiple changes to multiple files in just one pass (eg 50 changes across 1 million files)
• Restrict changes to line or column ranges, Tab or CSV field ranges, lines matching a pattern, inside and between HTML tags and other criteria
• Fix text or binary files of any size - even files larger than 10 Gigabytes!

Extend TextPipe by writing custom filters using industry-standard VBScript, JScript or other scripting languages. Use this to perform database lookups, insert data in Excel or Word or other non-standard processing. TextPipe can also call external programs to manipulate parts of the text.

TextPipe can be scheduled for automated lights-out processing, with audit logs tracking every step.

TextPipe can be automated via the command line (using the Command Line Wizard) or scripted via a COM interface, allowing TextPipe's text processing power to be controlled by programming languages such as Visual Basic, C++ and Delphi.

TextPipe can export filters to VBScript, JScript or a web page - which can be customized to make TextPipe even easier for less technical users by presenting a simplified GUI.

TextPipe integrates directly into Windows Explorer as a right-click menu for ease of use, and with a growing list of third party products.

TextPipe offers a variety of powerful searches and replacing.

The replacement text can include all or part of the original text or a re-arrangement of it, and the case of the replacement text can be automatically altered to preserve the case of the original text. The found text can be used as a constraint for further filters, such as by converting it to Upper Case, performing further search and replaces inside the replacement text or even a database or dictionary lookup.

TextPipe can restrict changes to line ranges, column ranges, tab-delimited fields, CSV-delimited fields, lines matching a pattern and more. You can combine restrictions, for example, to alter a specific line and column range. You can also apply further text manipulations to the Replaced Text in a Search and Replace operation, such as by making the Replacement Text UPPERCASE.
