Description of Mass File Editor 2.3.6

Text operations engine to process large number of files

Mass File Editor is a powerful text operations engine to process large number of files routinely. Automatically edits any number of files chosen by a user-supplied list, searches the plain text or regular expressions, maintains the data stack of what was found so far and allows composing new data from it. Files can be modified and renamed using all available data pieces.

This program is good for everyone who needs a smart text processing tool for the medium to high complexity tasks on a large number of input files.

• Supports both Windows and Unix style end of line characters CR/LF and converts between them.
• System wide drag-and-drop allows dragging text or whole files in and out.
• Unlimited undo-redo actions.
• Can act as a standalone text editor for the every day use
• Allows building complex file processing rules list which is applied to the file with one click.
• Regular expression search produces a set of matches and sub-matches (or sub expressions) all over the file and stores them in a data stack to be used as an input to other edit rules. The new text pieces can be composed from what is already available and put in making a complicated text-driven routines as simple as a mouse click.

Editor's review for Mass File Editor

Plain text is by far the most common form of communication across personal computers in the world being able to convey information both directly to users as well as to computer systems themselves that have been programmed to recognize and respond to certain commands in the process. These can include both log files and simple texts generated by computer programs for reference that are stored on your machine for later use or distribution to technicians as necessary.

Even web pages can be seen as simply a collection of text files in many cases. Though highly stylized and surrounded by a wide range of codes, these texts allow for users worldwide to engage in computer operations and share information with each other across vast distances through the web. That said, trudging through hundreds or thousands of text documents to change specific pieces of information and make sure everything is updated appropriately can be a daunting task at best, generally requiring a user to manually go in and modify any one of these text files for a small change and repeat the process for each and every file available. This can take hours upon hours to complete and, if looked at in terms of overall processing done over the course of the year, can amount to days of lost time in simple data processing to update information as needed.

Thankfully, there is a tool at your disposal that can help cut out all of the wasted time that you would be applying to this otherwise and make your life simpler: the Mass File Editor. Designed to make text file management both simple and effective, the Mass File Editor operates based upon a set of pre-defined rules as set by the user initially to be applied to any specific text values found within a set of designated documents. This means that with a few clicks of a mouse and some simple text being added in you are able to directly modify as many text files as you would like instantly, meaning no more hours upon hours being spent scanning through specific documents one at a time to make sure that all information is correct and up to date.

For both personal and professional purposes this is by far one of the best tools available on the market today, and as an added bonus, you can even try it before you buy to see if it's right for you - so give it a shot today and see what it can do for you.
