DataPipe performs both interactive and automatic search/replace on
the fields in any database.
You can perform complex search and replaces, capitalize, standardize
addressing, and fix any number of awkward
text processing issues, allwithout programming. With
DataPipe you can achieve in seconds what would take hours
with other database tools or programming languages. Start taking control
of your data NOW!
Every database contains some degree of invalid or incorrect data,
usually because of operator error or programming errors. These errors
can prevent normal processing of the data, can cause searches for the
records to fail, and invalid data formatting can cause mail-merges of
the data to look very unprofessional.
DataPipe includes TextPipe Pro, and
applies its amazing text processing capabilities to data in your
database. TextPipe provides a huge range of filters for
manipulating text. DataPipe's unmatched power comes from TextPipe's
unique architecture and
combining and arranging it's filters to suit each task.
Process Data From Anywhere
DataPipe connects to any industry standard
OLE DB/ODBC
database using database drivers provided by the database vendors.

Lightning Fast Search and Replace
DataPipe offers the fastest and most powerful search and
replaces:
Exact search (including multi-line and binary character search)
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
replacement text can also be modified by any combination of 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.
Replace text interactively in preview mode
and in live database mode (Click to enlarge).
Manipulate Precise Sections of Text
DataPipe can manipulate specific portions of the text
rather than the entire text, such as Line Ranges, Column Ranges, Lines
Matching a Pattern and Lines Not Matching a Pattern. You can combine
sections together, 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.

The DataPipe Difference
DataPipe is far more than a traditional data manipulation application:
DataPipe is the
only database application where you can interactively search and
replace through records in your database
DataPipe's pattern
matching AND replacing allows you to rearrange the text in a field e.g.
swapping surnames and first names
And DataPipe provides
all this without the need for custom programming, however, ...
...If you need to
perform custom processing, DataPipe allows you to write your own filters
in industry standard VBScript, JScript or a variety of other scripting
languages.
