TEXTools   
http://www.fireflysoftware.com

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?

Text Formatter Plus formats email and newsletter/ezine text to your specified line length. You can right and/or left indent text easily, set a left margin and check that the web addresses you've used are correct and functioning. It allows you to save pieces of text you use regularly and then easily insert them when required. When you want to edit someone's else's article that has already been formatted with hard returns, the program will strip the hard returns so that you can start work on the text immediately without wasting time.

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.

eClean 2000

eClean 2000 ver 3.0.4 (formerly E-Clean) is a text editor you can use in place of Notepad. But eClean 2000 has one feature other text editors don't: it removes formatting marks from email messages leaving only legible text remaining. It automatically removes forwarding/reply marks ">" and unwanted line breaks in sentences and paragraphs. In addition this special feature eClean 2000 also supports all the basic text-editing functions, such as Open, Save, Undo, Search/Replace, and Print. Changes: In 3.0 eClean is now integrated with Microsoft Outlook In 2.1 eClean now operates as a system tray. This means that eClean's functionality is available automatically after your PC reboots. eClean's icon (an envelope) can be found in your system tray (lower right portion of the screen by the clock). Using the right mouse button, click on eClean's system tray icon to show a menu of commands that are available from the tray menu. Most notably, you can now clean the contents of the clipboard by simply copying some text into the clipboard and selecting "Clean Clipboard Contents..." from the tray menu. This will clean the text found in the clipboard without requiring you to open eClean, paste the text and recopy the text back into the clipboard. This is a real time saver!!!.
