TEXTools is a powerful text processing software for Windows that allows users to transform text into various forms through filter combinations. It offers a pipe-based workbench and enhances productivity by reducing the time taken to declare variables.
TEXTools provides an intuitive graphical user interface that integrates 69 text translation filters, allowing users to search and replace text in web pages, edit mailing lists, extract emails, manipulate XML data, and automate interactive processes. Users can convert between CSV, comma-delimited, tab-delimited, and fixed-width files, as well as convert between PC, Mac and Unix text files, format source code, and perform base conversions.
Filters in TEXTools can change text case, sort lines, remove duplicates, output unique lines, truncate lines, pad lines to a given width, trim spaces from lines, justify text, add or remove lines or columns, reorder columns, join or split lines, total columns of numbers, perform math operations on numeric data, count lines, add line numbers, and much more. These filters can affect the entire text or be limited to isolated blocks of text.
TEXTools allows users to extend the software by creating their own user-defined filters (UDFs) from 32-bit console executables, VBScripts, JScripts or by combining other TEXTools filters. Users can utilize TEXTools from batch files, scripting languages such as VBScript, JScript, Perl, Python, and programs written in languages such as Visual Basic, Delphi, C++, etc.
Why write code to process text when you can use TEXTools and "pipe" it? The software allows users to accomplish all sorts of editing tasks with a minimal number of lines of code, making it easier to get the job done. The software's streamlined interface and powerful filters make it a must-have for anyone working with text processing on a Windows platform.
