User Contributions

We encourage sharing of user-contributed TextPipe filters. If you have a useful filter that you would like to make available to others, please send it to us. Just compress the file in ZIP format and email it as an attachment. A brief description accompanying your filter (in a comments tab) would be helpful, as would sample text in the Trial Run area so other people can see how it works.

Below are some novel uses for TextPipe. If you have an unusual use for TextPipe or a filter to contribute, please contact us!

• Framemaker .MIF files (for TextPipe Lite, Standard and Pro)
• Google AdWords filter to generate ALL broad match, phrase match and exact match terms (for TextPipe Standard and Pro, can also be used with TextPipe Lite if sorting is disabled)
• Legal filter to copy section/chapter/paragraph context numbers to every line of a legal text. This is great to change:
   

  Change this:	Into this:
  45  Something about the section      (1) A variant of the section's subject           a. variant of those variants           b. another variant of the variants in (1)      (2) blah blah          a. more yet  45.25  Something about the section      (1) A variant of the section's subject           a. variant of those variants	45   Something about the section 45(1)  A variant of the section's subject 45(1)(a)  variant of those variants 45(1)(b)  another variant of the variants in (1) 45(2)  blah blah 45(2)(a)  more yet 45.25   Something about the section 45.25(1)  A variant of the section's subject 45.25(1)(a)  variant of those variants

  so that the legal context is always visible when you perform a search on it (especially those searches which return only a single line)

Perl/Perlscript prototyping and learning tool

We have customers who use TextPipe's perl pattern matching and other text manipulation filters to develop and prototype filters in an interactive environment. It's easy for them to see what the changes are as they make them. When the filter is complete they simply export the filter to the clipboard in text, VBScript or JScript format, and convert it to Perl format.

We will be adding more novel uses soon. If you have an unusual use for TextPipe or a filter to contribute, please contact us!
