TextPipe is a powerful Webmaster tool for updating text, capable of handling unlimited files and folders of any size. It allows multiple changes to be performed simultaneously and can search for multi-line text.
Users can make use of popular perl-style regular expressions to search for fuzzy text patterns or use already existing EasyPatterns. This software includes predefined patterns for [Whitespace], [Date], [Time], [IPAddress], [EmailAddress], and other content types.
Moreover, TextPipe is the only software that allows replacement restriction to line ranges, column ranges, and HTML elements such as within an ALT tag, CONTENT attribute of the META KEYWORDS tag, or the TITLE tag. This makes the possibilities endless, and it's only until users can see them in action that they truly appreciate how powerful this feature really is.
Another feature of TextPipe is that it can convert files between Unix, Mac, and PC/Windows end of line formats. It can also Remove blanks from the start or end of each line, Remove HTML tags, Add line numbers, File Headers, 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 available. TextPipe even includes over 200 example filter files and a comprehensive online manual. No wonder it won the SIA "Best Application" award.
One reviewer stated that they used to have an entire folder full of quick little VB programs to fix up data when dealing with customer banks. However, TextPipe replaced all of their previous utilities. Since purchasing the product, they have replaced all of their other home-brew utilities and processed over 350GB of data in just twenty days.
In summary, TextPipe is a reliable software that offers a wide variety of features to webmasters looking to update text on their website. Its excellent features, flexibility, and easy-to-use functionality make it a top choice for many users in the industry.
