TextTransformer is a software that will help you to analyze texts and transform them. For this you have to write simple rules describing the structure of the source text and determining how the parts it shall be transformed to the target text.
A single rule for example is enough to make multiple replacements of words. Existing examples can be modified to achieve quick results. Every change can be tested immediately.
For this, the TextTransformer allows stepwise transformations in a debugger, where you can see immediately what happens. So the development even of complex programs becomes a game.
Simple rules can be combined to arbitrary complex programs. Even grammars of programming languages can be described, e.g. to translate them into another one.
The standard version has an additional transformation manager to transform groups of files interactively. This version also has augmented interpreter capabilities: subexpressions of tokens can be accessed and containers can be used.
In the professional version of the TextTransformer a ready transformation program can be exported as c++-code for use in other software products.
Here are some key features of "TextTransformer":
· Extended LL(1)-top down technology
· Definitions of text elements by regular expressions in POSIX style
· Definitions of grammar rules syntactically as meta regular expressions
· Skipping irrelevant parts of text by means of the SKIP-symbol
· Integrated debugger
· Integrated simple c++ interpreter
· Syntax highlighting
· Type checking and immediate finding of errors
· Automatically testing
· Interactivity, to translate selected parts of the text
· Transformation manager to handle file groups
· Commandline version
· Extensive documentation
Requirements:
· 256 MB RAM
· 20 MB hard disk space
· Pentium processor
Limitations:
· 30 days trial
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· The navigation with the back button and the again button has been revised. The called scripts were managed for the tokens, productions, elements, and tests in a common list till now. They are managed separately from now on. When the back button or the again button is clicked, no page is changed any more, but the corresponding script of the same page is shown from now on.
· The results of "find all" aren't taken into the history list any more and when the project is parsed, there is no automatic navigation to the startrule any more.
· When copying text from the viewer into the editor, existing text breakpoints there are removed.
· A second parameter can optionally be passed to the functions findChildLabel, findChildValue and findChildId now. By this boolean parameter is determined whether the search is done recursively or not.
· The error indication for competitive SKIP nodes was extended by a case which, till now, wasn't recognized.
· The freely available installation program ...
