Plain and simple, TextPipe is the most powerful text conversion, transformation, and re-purposing software money can buy – and you'll be productive with TextPipe in minutes, not days.

It's a Swiss army knife combining the best of regex, Awk, Grep, Sed, Word and Excel macros and other text processing tools into one neat interface.

Use it to mass search/replace across websites, extract data from huge log files, convert text encodings (e.g. ANSI to UTF-8), convert end-of-line characters, convert mainframe copybook EBCDIC files to PC format (Pro only), extract email addresses, extract mailing labels from reports and more. A unique system of restrictions control precisely where changes are made. For example, you can apply a lookup table or search/replace to just one column of a huge CSV file. Similarly, you can apply CaSe changes to text within HTML/XML tags or attributes, or even to all text NOT matching a pattern. The combinations are endless. You can also extract data from databases in XML, JSON, CSV and other formats, and post-process it, including pushing it into other databases, or even into Azure Event Hubs and IoT Hubs.

And it’s FAST! For a recent customer, TextPipe applied 603,000 different search/replaces against a 48 MB file in under 30 seconds! By design, TextPipe handles documents of any size with no slowdown, such as Excel CSV files with more than 65535 rows. It can also process compressed files in-situ, such as zip files, website log files, Microsoft Office 2007+ files, OpenOffice files and more.

If TextPipe's 100+ filters or 380 demo files don't suit your needs, you can roll your own using VBScript/Jscript.

As well as traditional perl-style pattern pattern matching, TextPipe offers the intuitive EasyPattern pattern matching language for beginners. For automated use, TextPipe can be scheduled via the command line or controlled from any programming language using COM. TextPipe Server can also take advantage of multiple processors.

Also, TextPipe was recently updated to version 10.8, it now has an awesome new Ribbon interface and can be downloaded for 64 bit operating systems.

After you purchase TextPipe, it may be used for 12 months.

Review what others have to say...
“I use it handling differences in data interchange with our customer banks. But as I use this product, I am learning ways to eek value out of our investment. I used to have an entire folder full of quick little VB programs that I would write to fix up data, and I no longer use them. They all have been replaced by TextPipe.Since I bought the product 20 days ago, I have replaced all of my other home-brew utilities and processed over 350GB of data.”- Jeff W. Martin, Fiserv Corporationfiserv.com
“Considering the amount of brute work I saved using the TextPipe Pro filtering and automation options, I must recognize that your software is not just a nice addition to a text editor but a daily use tool for any serious web developer.Thank you for the opportunity of using it.”- Rares Dragan, Experimental Magazineexperimental.ro
“I just wanted to let y'all know that I can attribute my 7 person and growing company to TextPipe Pro. Practically every developer I've met has turned their nose up at TextPipe. It usually isn't long before a problem comes up, and I recommend a TextPipe solution, which they inevitably ignore, and then go screw up royally using some other method. Fortunately I have TextPipe to save the day. I'm not a developer, but maybe I should have been. To give you some idea, I've created over 300 TextPipe filters to accomplish various tasks. Some I've spent minutes on, some programs I've spent weeks on and contain over 30 unique filters. Anyway, enough about my TextPipe compulsions, I want to know how I can get a TextPipe Pro t-shirt so that I can sport it around the office. Thanks!”- Joseph Ring, CEO, Ring Marketingringmarketing.net
“I initially invested in it for two reasons. One was that ZDNet gave it a 10 out of 10 when compared to similar products, and the second was that I needed something good to clean and process form data from my web site.Please share my appreciation to your entire team.Cordially,”- Edwin Kennedy, Ph.D, DirectorCourtStats.com
“What I can say is that it's an incredible 'Swiss Army knife' of a tool that quickly became a part of my everyday work life. It was easy to pick up and apply on the fly to do things like text clean-up, perform columnar search and replace, reformatting output files, etc. You can use it the first minute you have it, but it's also something you'll grow into...”- David Zimmerman, Market Data Center

atoutec Hi, be careful : When I bought TextPipe Pro through this site (sept. 2016), the fine print mentioned “After you purchase TextPipe it may be used indefinitely”… but I cannot use the SW anymore and the vendor (Simon Carter) confirmed that; in fact we have to pay a yearly fee ?

Simon Carter @atoutec: I don't agree that the fine print was wrong - it was right at the time for purchases made at the time. But if you upgraded after that point, then yes, it would be under the new model. We changed our business model 3 years ago, and DataMystic has delivered value to our users continuously for 19 years. Thanks for watching our progress!

atoutec @Simon Carter. I never would like to use a new version... Here is was you wrote in one of your e-mail to me in May 2018: "Hi Vital – I am not sure where that comment came from. If it is still on BDJ then it needs updating." ?!

Jun 26 2019 at 5:26am Copy Link

Simon Carter Thanks @atoutec the error is still there and I have asked BDJ to fix the text. For clarity, TextPipe has a 12 month license that requires renewal.

Dunking @simon carter: If I were to purchase this today, how long could I keep using it for without further payments?

Roberto Please, could you clarify the license model? Is this a suscription based software to get the program working? Just to be clear, can I use the program with my current version after 12 months or the software will not work at all?

Jun 27 2019 at 4:20am Copy Link

Mike B Even on the DataMystic website it is difficult to find any mention of the fact that the software will only operate for 1 year unless the license is renewed. The only mention I could find is halfway down the http://www.datamystic.com/buy/ page:

-------------
DataMystic software licenses are one year subscription licenses that also includes one year of upgrades - both major (e.g. 5.xx to 6.xx) and minor (e.g. 5.31 to 5.42).
-------------

Even that statement isn't exactly crystal clear - it could be easily mis-interpreted as 'updates are provided for one year'.

I feel vendors who do not make it absolutely clear that a purchase is for a time-limited license where software ceases to work after the subscription expires (a very unusual licensing model) are being deceptive.

Jun 27 2019 at 4:21am Copy Link

Simon Carter @Dunking Thanks for your question - it is 12 months

DataMystic - Jun 27 2019 at 5:25am Copy Link

Simon Carter @MikeB - it's not deceptive or unusual - Office 365, every anti-virus software, every online SaaS product, all developer tools - it's hardly unusual.

DataMystic - Jun 27 2019 at 5:26am Copy Link

Dunking @Simon Carter: you need to change the fine print here, then, since it says it can be used indefinitely. I think you need to make it a LOT clearer on your site as well, and especially mention it in your license (which says nothing about it currently). I would be seriously put out to have paid what looks like a normal price for a subscription.

Jun 27 2019 at 6:06am Copy Link

Simon Carter @Dunking We asked BDJ to update this 2 days before the deal. No change yet. Thanks for your suggestion

DataMystic - Jun 27 2019 at 2:12pm Copy Link

Mike B @Simon Carter: Office 365 makes it very clear that you're buying a subscription (for 1 monthly or annual).

Anti-virus also makes that clear (at least the ones I'm familiar with - there are so many that it's certainly possible there are deceptive vendors)

SaaS generally also makes it clear. Additionally it's clearly in a different category than desktop software (ie., you're buying a service running in a data center, not just software to run on your machine).

None of the developer tools I have are time-limited after paying for them. Again, I'm sure there are some, but I think they are in the minority. Many are geared toward corporate purchase - and the terms are made clear.

However, on the DataMytic landing page, the only time-frame mentioned in the "Buy Now" area is "1 Year Free Upgrades". On the "Add to Cart" page that the "Buy Now" button takes you to, the closest thing to a mention of the time-limitation is: "FREE upgrades during the license term...". In my opinion it is hardly clear that the software will stop functioning after 1 year.

Benjamin User While Office 365 offers subscription fees which I subscribed to. They also offer standalone license that can be used indefinitely (Office 2003, 2016, 2019, etc). The only point in buying Office 365 for me is to have a software up to date on both my Mac and PC with a cloud sharing.

Appart from that, I'd definitely buy the standalone license as there are no point in buying subscription fees for such software. I hate this business model but it sometimes is worth the money depending on important points I mentioned above.

Also, Office 365 can we either paid monthly or annually. I am a monthly subscriber and I'm looking for a cheaper annual fee for both Mac and PC.

I think you'd get more customer if you offer standalone license. You could make people pay for upgrade. For instance, those who paid version 1, could use it indefinitely but they'd have to pay for v.2, and vice versa. This business model is, imo, much better and would make your software more popular than the actual one.

If you have enough subscribers and you are happy with the actual business model then no need to change, but I have been paying too many subscription fee that I'm fed up with this business model. It's too expansive to keep up.
