TextWrangler Alternative for Windows | TextPipe

TextPipe is a fully-featured application that extends all the basic functions offered by TextWrangler. If you want an ultra-high speed, 100% automated solution that you can script from any programming language or schedule to process your website overnight, then you need TextPipe, not TextWrangler.

Unlike the now-deprecated TextWrangler, TextPipe lets you control the ORDER that options are performed in precisely. TextPipe also lets you restrict changes precisely to where you need them, such as lines 1-10, columns 40-50, or only to lines matching 'HEADER'.
