CUT TIME MANUALLY FIXING DATA / TEXT!

Melbourne, Australia - August 18, 2000 - DataMystic Corporation has announced TextPipe 5.1, an update of its text cleansing and transformation workbench for data warehousing, web site maintenance and electronic text processing. 

TextPipe solves common data cleansing problems with exact matching, pattern matching, sounds-like matching and New edit distance matching to cleanse typographical errors. Edit distance matching replaces a target word when the number of character swaps, inserts or deletes from a selected word is below a chosen threshold. Improve data quality in data loading tasks with cleansing scripts defined in VBScript and JScript. 

TextPipe automates complex text changes and reformatting across entire web sites, source code and text or binary files over 2GB. All transformation changes are documented in detailed audit logs. 

New 'Shallow' XML parsing manipulates XML files larger than available memory, and allows search and replace in text subsets like line ranges, column ranges, CSV fields, tab-delimited fields, lines matching a pattern, search results etc. 

Extract data from OLE DB/ODBC data sources in XML, fixed width, CSV or tab delimited format, transform it and insert into second database. Fix DOS, Mac, Unix and Mainframe end-of-lines, sort, split, merge and much more. 

TextPipe is a low cost alternative to complicated and time-consuming hand-coded solutions. Developers can rapidly design, test and re-use transformations for complex collections of irregular data.
