TextTransformer
-
Version
1.7.3
The TextTransformer can analyze texts and transform
them. For this you have to write simple rules
describing the structure of the source text and
determining how the parts it shall be transformed to
the target text. A single rule for example is enough
to make multiple replacements of words. Existing
examples can be modified to achieve quick results.
Every change can be tested immediately. For this, the
TextTransformer allows stepwise transformations in a
debugger, where you can see immediately what happens.
So the development even of complex programs becomes a
game. Simple rules can be combined to arbitrary
complex programs. Even grammars of programming
languages can be described, e.g. to translate them
into another one.
The free version (not time limited) has nearly all
possibilities to analyze texts and to transform them.
After you have installed the TextTransformer, the
functionality of the standard version (see below) can
be tested for 30 days.
The standard version has an additional
transformation manager to transform groups of files
interactively. This version also has augmented
interpreter capabilities: subexpressions of tokens can
be accessed and containers can be used.
In the professional version of the TextTransformer a
ready transformation program can be exported as c++-
code for use in other software products.
The key features of the TextTransformer summarized:
Extended LL(1)-top down technology
Definitions of text elements by regular expressions in
POSIX style
Definitions of grammar rules syntactically as meta
regular expressions
Skipping irrelevant parts of text by means of the SKIP-
symbol
Integrated debugger
Integrated simple c++ interpreter
Syntax highlighting
Type checking and immediate finding of errors
Automatically testing
Interactivity, to translate selected parts of the text
Transformation manager to handle file groups
Commandline version
