Features
DataPipe leverages the amazing text processing abilities of TextPipe Pro with live data in
your production database. DataPipe scans through your dataset row by row (minimising
locking problems), enabling full production access without interruption. Best of all, you don't
have to extract or dump your data to a file before operating on it - DataPipe
connects to your database live!
All the best text processing features of TextPipe Pro are here:
- Reknowned search and replace with pattern matching, sounds-like and fuzzy matching (for
fixing up common typing errors)
- VBScript or JScript (or PerlScript, PythonScript, REXXscript etc) filters can define
custom processing for each field
- Convert end-of-line characters between Unix, Mainframe, DOS and Macintosh formats
- Correct capitalization (eg sImon -> Simon)
- Remove unwanted binary characters
- Remove blanks from the start, end and remove multiple whitespace
- Remove HTML
- Add line numbers, left and right margins, headers and footers
- Add or remove columns of text or extra lines
- Pad fields out to width, or truncate them to a width
- Extract email addresses
- and much, much more.
DataPipe runs under Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP.
