Text Monkey Lite is a clever program that cleans up ugly, over-quoted email text. Text Monkey operates on text as it resides on the Windows clipboard, so it is compatible with all types of email clients. Example: You just received an important email, but it's been forwarded and quoted so many times it's almost impossible to read. With Text Monkey Lite, cleanup is a snap: just copy the message to the clipboard and paste back the cleaned text. How could it be so simple? Text Monkey senses when messy email text has been copied to the clipboard and cleans the text automatically, or upon your confirmation. Text Monkey Lite has a small footprint on-screen, and resides in the system tray so it's always on-hand when you need it.

Text Monkey PRO is a clever program that cleans up ugly, over-quoted email text. The program also includes 40+ other handy functions. Text Monkey operates on text as it resides on the Windows clipboard, so it extends the functionality of every program you use. Example 1: You just received an important email, but it's been forwarded and quoted so many times it's almost impossible to read. With Text Monkey, cleanup is a snap: just copy the message to the clipboard and paste back the cleaned text. How could it be so simple? Text Monkey senses when messy email text has been copied to the clipboard and cleans the text automatically, or upon your confirmation. Example 2: You have several paragraphs of text that you need to publish as a web page on short notice. Simply copy the text to the clipboard, click a button in Text Monkey, and you'll find that all the appropriate tags have been added to make a legal HTML document. (Text Monkey also handles the opposite case: it can remove HTML tags from a web document so that only the readable text remains.) Example 3: You're editing a list of items in the memo field of a large application. You realize that you'd like to number the list (or sort it, or delete duplicates, or indent it, or convert its character case, or...). Not to worry: just copy the text to clipboard, click a button in Text Monkey, and paste back the result. In addition to email clean-up, Text Monkey Pro includes dozens of other useful functions, all related to cleaning, formatting, or filtering text. Most of its functions require the click of just a single button. One button converts plain text to an HTML document, applying all the tags necessary to preserve formatting and create a web-publishable document. Other commands are available to sort, auto-number, delete blank lines, delete duplicate lines, count occurrences of strings, convert tabs to spaces, perform case conversions, encode/decode special HTML characters, and more.

TEXTools

While the other guys are still declaring variables, get the job done with TEXTools -- the powerful, pipe-based text processing workbench for Windows that allows you to morph text into other forms by simply combining filters. Do things to text like you've never done before with a minimal number of lines of code. Easier to develop, maintain and debug than traditional code, pipes are the ultimate solution to those everyday text editing problems. TEXTools' streamlined user interface seamlessly integrates 69 text translation filters, giving you the power to easily accomplish the most challenging editing tasks. Search and replace text in web pages, convert between CSV, comma-delimited, tab-delimited and fixed-width files, extract logfile data, manipulate XML data, convert between PC, Mac and Unix text files, edit mailing lists, extract email addresses, maintain lists of keywords, format source code, automate interactive processes -- all this and more by simply combining filters! Filters can do things like change text case, sort lines, remove duplicates, output unique lines, truncate lines, pad lines to a given width, trim spaces from lines, justify text, add or remove lines or columns, reorder columns, join or split lines, perform base conversions, total columns of numbers, perform math operations on numeric data, count lines, add line numbers, etc. You can even extend TEXTools by creating your own user-defined filters (UDFs) from 32-bit console executables, VBScripts, JScripts and by combining other TEXTools filters! Filters fully support regular expressions and they can either operate on the entire input text or be limited to just isolated blocks of text. TEXTools can be invoked from batch files using TEXTools Command Line (TCL), or automated from languages such as VBScript, JScript, Perl, Python, Visual Basic, Delphi, C++, etc. Why write code to process text when you can "pipe" it?

Blue Tango - The Text Scrambler   
http://www.highermath.com

Blue Tango is the fun and practical way to make your messages discrete. It keeps text, rich text and even portions of messages confidential. And that's important. Blue Tango encrypts plain text (like data in .txt files – which have no formatting) and rich text (like data in .doc, .rtf, or HTML files – which have formatting such as fonts and colors). You create the text and then scramble all or portions of it using a password of your choosing. Recipients can unscramble the encoded portions as long as they know your password. It is intended to be an easy-to-use, low-cost, secure alternative to hard-to-use, high-cost, more secure encryption methods. Blue Tango is easy-to-use because you can choose to scramble documents, emails, or chat session messages -- or only sensitive sections of them -- immediately (right in front of you). And you do not have to go through paid secure sites or have keys passed to the recipients. All you do is send them the resulting scrambled text and tell them the password and they can unscramble it if they also have the product. It is low-cost because only the stuff you need to scramble is encoded and the result is plain text that can be sent by any simple transmission method. No expensive secure sites or other encoding/decoding products are involved. Blue Tango is secure because the scrambling algorithm is very complicated and will require extreme effort even to make an attempt to break a small portion of it . It is very useful for sending messages to other people where the text contains sensitive materials or time-sensitive information that you prefer to protect from strangers. Blue Tango is useful for storing work-in-progress on your computer at the office so that others do not see your unfinished work. It can also be used to make chat sessions messages secure.
