TextPipe - by Nick Smith
TextPipe is
excellent for programmers, web authors or anyone who needs to
carry out complex text-editing tasks. With command-line
automation features, it can efficiently process multiple files
on your terms. The program flawlessly converts files between
DOS, Unix, Macintosh and Amiga formats. It also converts text
from one programming language to another, and change text
between OEM and ANSI. The program even gives you the power to
define your own translations.
TextPipe presents dozens of filters for optimizing and
editing your code. It can remove binary characters, ANSI
escape sequences, blank lines, HTML code and more. It can also
modify text within files including the ability to perform
arbitrary mapping and change characters cases. TextPipe lets
Web authors reduce the size of their HTML and batch process
any number of site documents. You can even make your HTML
pages readable outside the standard browser. Further, TextPipe
supports wildcards for faster processing. Filter lists can be
saved to the hard drive for future use.
TextPipe really has a lot of potential uses. IT'S quite
handy for encoding and decoding certain e-mail attachments and
other files. With sophisticated search functions, you can
better manage files and remove duplicates. Whether for Web or
cross-platform development, TextPipe is a vital text-editing
tool to have by your side. This shareware version is fully
functional, but expires after 30 days. TextPipe receives five
smileys.
