TextPipe is a Swiss army knife for manipulating or extracting data from text files of any type - be they XML, HTML, TXT from PC/Mac/Unix, log files, Mainframe report files, delimited or fixed-width, structured or unstructured text. Unlike other tools, TextPipe doesn't care how big your files are. Sort a 50GB file - no problem, even if your machine only has 4GB RAM.
Unlike perl and other text tools, TextPipe provides a visual interface where you can design and test your filters (edit tasks). Filters can be built using drag and drop, and for the first time, the text processing flow is easy to understand - even months later (and even after a major hangover - try doing that with perl!).
TextPipe combines ultra-fast search/replace (e.g. 300,000 search terms), sorting of gigantic files, Unicode and code page conversion, extraction of esoteric mainframe copybook data, and website text mining tools all into the one convenient toolbox. Filters can be saved, re-used, documented, logged, automated, and embedded into your favorite programming language.
Uniquely, TextPipe can restrict the scope of a filter to ranges of lines and columns, to a set of CSV or tab-delimited fields, to lines matching a pattern, to specific HTML/XML tags and more. Restrictions can be stacked together, e.g. to only change the ALT text of IMG tags with a hyperlink around them.
TextPipe is used extensively by data providers, mail houses, publishers, banks, federal and state government agencies, universities, law courts, systems integrators, database consultants and IT consultants - in 62 countries - by anyone that routinely deals with text.
