The TextPipe Engine is a component that users can easily include in their applications for using TextPipe's powerful text processing capabilities.
Update web site text using search and replace, which supports perl pattern matching, sounds-like matching and edit-distance matching, and search/replace lists loaded from Excel/CSV/Tab files.
Convert files from foreign computer systems between mainframe fixed-length formats and DOS, Macintosh and Unix line-feed formats.
Filters can split or join files, remove blanks from the start or end of each line, add or remove lines or columns. Add line numbers, sort, center or right justify text, remove blank lines, remove HTML tags, remove duplicate lines, word wrap, convert between ASCII and EBCDIC, OEM and ANSI, Unicode and ANSI, remap ANSI or Unicode characters, extract email addresses, expand or contract tabs, remove backspaces, remove binary characters, pad or truncate or force lines to a predetermined width, generate word lists and much more.
Restrict changes to line or column ranges, CSV- or tab-delimited fields, lines that match or do not match a pattern, and search replacements (allowing replacement text to be capitalized etc).
TextPipe can be fully automated via a web page, the command-line or scripted via a COM interface.
Handles files larger than 2 GB. XML, CSV, tab-delimited or fixed width database extracts can be generated using the database connection filter.
User-defined filters can be written in VBScript or JScript. Audit logs keep track of the filter lists run, files modified and changes made.
More than 200 example filter files are included along with a comprehensive online manual. Winner SIA 2003 "Best Application" award.
