TextSoap or TextSoap alternative for Windows - deckeda - 11-26-2008
At work we use TextSoap 4.5, but our impending move to Winblows means we'll need a solution there. There's a TextSoap for Windows, but I'd like to know what else is out there on the Windows side.
TextSoap is a find-and-replace text editor with both built-in and user customizable "cleaners" (i.e. macros that fix text with a single click.) Prior to TextSoap we used an ancient app on 8.6 and 9.22 called Add/Strip.

I say do it by hand when you get the new Windows boxes. That way, you'll look so busy and productive.

You know, it would fit right in with the monthly Windows patches here that are so taken for granted they're scheduled. Gonna take me a while to adjust to my new reality, once it kicks in.

Thanks choppper, I'll keep that one in mind. One thing that concerns me is this,
from their website wrote:
Can specify up to 5 "find" and "replace" text items.
Most of what I've set TestSoap up for, it a giant find-and-replace list. Only being able to specify 5 probably wouldn't cut it. But I can look over my list, because I think it includes the whole high-ASCII character list, most of which we don't come across.
