TextPipe™ Standard is the reduced feature set version of
TextPipe Pro. Please see the
Pro vs Standard Comparison chart for more
details of the differences.
TextPipe Standard provides a subset of filters at a reduced cost. The
Standard Edition still provides full End Of Line conversion between DOS/Mac/Unix
files, multi-file support, and the most commonly used functions. If the Standard
Edition does not fully meet your needs, the Pro Edition can be purchased as a
form of upgrade.

from Andrew Phillips, ExpertComSoftware
I just wanted to congratulate your company on a fine piece of
software. Not only do I find the software intellectually stimulating (I
haven't come across something so fine in at least ten years) but the
software works like a dream. This software has revolutionized the way I
work on a large aspect of my IT Consultancy business. What used to take
hours to do now only takes minutes. It has provided me with a cutting
edge tool to compete with, against other IT Consultant companies, in
data mining and data manipulation. Used in conjunction with the database
development I provide my clients I am able to reduce their costs, and
provide a faster and more accurate service. As an example, this morning
I was asked to produce an Internet abuse report at 08:55. This involves
gathering data from 5 servers and collating 500+ .CSV reports each with
thousands of records. This work would normally take 3 hours hard work
using an advanced text editor and several scripts. With TextPipe Pro I
had the report on his desk by 09:05. Impressive or what. I wish I had
found your software years ago." [more]
Process Information From Anywhere
TextPipe handles both text and binary files with equal
ease. File formats you can convert and extract data from include:
HTML, XML and other structured documents from the WWW
Fixed length, CSV and Tab-delimited sequential files
Unix, Macintosh, Mainframe and PC end-of-line formats
ASCII, ANSI, Unicode and EBCDIC text files
Inside Zip files, and the new Microsoft Office 2007 formats DOCX,
XLSX, PPTX
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
found text can be used as a constraint for further 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.
Manipulate Precise Sections of Text
You can restrict changes to line, column and field
ranges, Lines Matching a Pattern and Lines Not Matching a
Pattern. You can combine restrictions, 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.

limitations:
