TextPipe™ is a multi-award winning, industrial strength text transformation, conversion, cleansing and extraction workbench.

One tool - One point of maintenance. With TextPipe you specify all your text processing functions in one place, rather than remembering and managing multiple


manual jobs across various text editors, command line tools, custom scripts and Word and Excel macros.
What does TextPipe do?

TextPipe makes it fast and easy to convert, transform and re-purpose data in text files, including

- HTML, XML and other structured documents from the WWW
- Fixed length or delimited files (CSV, Tab, Pipe, etc)
- Unix, Mainframe and PC/Windows end-of-line formats
- Inside Zip files, and the new Microsoft Office 2007 formats DOCX, XLSX, PPTX
- ASCII, ANSI, Unicode and EBCDIC files
- Security log files from firewalls, web servers etc
- EDIFACT, HL7, SWIFT and other structured formats
- Spooled print files
- Structured and unstructured reports of any size or dimension.
Seven Reasons Why TextPipe is Different

1. TextPipe is exceptionally fast
2. TextPipe handles files of unlimited size, even files larger than 2 Gigabytes! Other applications attempt to load the entire file into memory (grinding
your system to a halt).
3. TextPipe's unique restrictions control precisely where changes are made. Restrict to a range of lines or columns, to specific Tab or CSV fields, between
HTML/XML tags, and inside custom ranges. Restrictions can be combined, for example, to columns 1-10 of lines matching a pattern. Restrictions are essential
for extensive but controlled search and replace
4. TextPipe performs multiple operations simultaneously. Other applications offer only 1, up to 5, or require a slow multi-pass approach
5. If TextPipe's 100+ filters don't suit your needs, you can use industry standard VBScript/JScript to write your own. Other applications either don't offer
this facility, or force you to learn a proprietary language
6. TextPipe is unique in offering the EasyPattern pattern matching language for those not familiar with text pattern matching (regular expressions).
EasyPatterns are English-like and very easy to learn
7. TextPipe can be scheduled for non-interactive use, and can be controlled by an external program. Other applications provide only a mouse interface.

TextPipe will save you time, frustration and money. It will fix text data, regardless of the number of changes required, the size or number of files, and the


complexity of the transformations.

TextPipe provides a single point of maintenance for all your text processing tasks. You learn one tool, rather than learning 4 or more - and their associated


languages, command line options, debugging schemes, idiosyncrasies and operating system differences and dependencies. TextPipe is far less costly to learn,
use, develop with and maintain than cobbling together multiple generic tools and custom scripts to achieve one end. It's a Swiss army knife combining the
best of perl, awk, grep, sed, and many other less common text processing tools. You'll be productive with TextPipe in minutes, not days.

TextPipe's unmatched power comes from its arsenal of 100+ manipulation filters, its unique architecture and its tremendous flexibility in combining these
filters to suit each task. Intuitive line, column, field, tag and attribute restrictions make fixing data extracts simple. You can extract and then modify
data from databases, in delimited, XML and SQL Insert Script formats. You can roll your own custom filters using industry standard VBScript and JScript. With


TextPipe you can create your own conversions, and deploy them for execution at remote sites. A single click merges files (even those larger than 10 GB),
another click extracts emails addresses, and another click sorts and removes duplicates. Try doing that with less than 100 lines of code, in less than 10
seconds!

TextPipe runs on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003 Server, Vista and Vista 64.
