Editor's review
This is a flat file editor.
TextMaster is a flat file editor. This tool allows quick and easy edits of fixed and delimited files. It is as easy to do as if the data was available in SQL database files. The kind of operations you could do include SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, and DELETE, records from your data file. These operations are possible to be done on the file directly. There will be no need to import them into a relational database. Besides these SQL operations, functions specific to text files such as splits or joins, removal of duplicate records, editing of columns, transforming multi-line text into a single line, etc. can be carried out with this tool. The interface is easy enough and intuitive. You do not need to understand SQL database. There are a lot of examples to ease your pain. The interface has a wizard to take the user through the right steps.
Text based functions such as TMHSplit, TMVJoin, TMKeep, TMFile, TMDeDup are available. A set of string operations support these features. These include common .NET String functions such as ToUpper, ToLower, Trim, Substring, Contains, StartsWith, EndsWith, etc. Many others such as CONVERT, DATETIME etc. are also available. This tool can handle quite large files. To be able to do edit in such large files, you need powerful search (query) functions. This application has them. For example, if you were searching for specifics about an IP address range and a port number, this will find the details from a firewall log quickly enough. Some built in tools include checking files for consistency, export of data, and transcoding of files, file split/join etc. This is a remarkably good product. If you are looking for a similar solution, you should try it in your exact workflow.
