Manipulate text and data files in an endless variety of ways (Click to enlarge).

Lightning Fast Search and Replace
TextPipe offers a variety of powerful searches:
  • Exact search (including multi-line and binary character search)
  • 'Sounds-like' search
  • Fuzzy search (great for finding typing errors)
  • Pattern or wildcard search
  • Search/replace lists and more.

The replacement text can include all or part of the original text or a re-arrangement of it, and the case of the replacement text can be automatically altered to preserve the case of the original text. The found text can be used as a constraint for further filters, such as by converting it to Upper Case, performing further search and replaces inside the replacement text or even a database or dictionary lookup.

Manipulate Precise Sections of Text
TextPipe can restrict changes to line ranges, column ranges, tab-delimited fields, CSV-delimited fields, lines matching a pattern and more. You can combine restrictions, for example, to alter a specific line and column range. You can also apply further text manipulations to the Replaced Text in a Search and Replace operation, such as by making the Replacement Text UPPERCASE.

Unlimited Power
TextPipe's frees you from worrying about memory size or disk space limitations:
  • TextPipe performs an unlimited numbers of manipulations in a single pass (e.g. 100 different search and replace operations)
  • There is no limit on file size - so you can process files larger than 10 Gigabytes
  • All files are processed without using temporary disk space - only the result file is output
  • TextPipe handles an unlimited number of files (e.g. corporate websites).

VBScript and JScript Custom Filters
Extend TextPipe by writing custom filters using industry-standard VBScript, JScript or other scripting languages. Use this to perform database lookups, insert data in Excel or Word or other non-standard processing. TextPipe can also call external programs to manipulate parts of the text.

Automation and Integration
TextPipe can be scheduled for automated lights-out processing, with audit logs tracking every step.

TextPipe can be automated via the command line (using the Command Line Wizard) or scripted via a COM interface, allowing TextPipe's text processing power to be controlled by programming languages such as Visual Basic, C++ and Delphi.

TextPipe can export filters to VBScript, JScript or a web page - which can be customized to make TextPipe even easier for less technical users by presenting a simplified GUI.

TextPipe integrates directly into Windows Explorer as a right-click menu for ease of use, and with a growing list of third party products.
