Program for changing words. Editors for the editor

UV FilesCorrector- a program for quickly fixing text files, clipboard text and just selected text.

  • What to do when you need to make several different replacements in the text at once?
  • Or do you need to replace the text in a dozen or two files at once?
  • Or do you need to find and replace multiline text?
  • Or find (replace with) non-standard characters (tab, ©, etc.)?

The usual replacement mechanism is no help here. Either long, or not possible at all. But with UV FilesCorrector this task becomes very simple and fast.

Here is a partial list of the program's features for working with text:

  • Ability to fix multiple files at once
  • Make many different substitutions one after the other
  • Replace selected text in any program
  • Use non-standard characters in search and replace (for example, ©, ® and many others)
  • Use pattern matching (regular expressions)
  • It is possible to work with XML files using the xPath query language.
  • And much more

And all this at the touch of a button!

List of substitutions

Substitutions are made in the order in which they appear in the list. Only marked substitutions work.

Invisible characters are indicated in the list by a convention in square brackets. For example, line breaks are denoted as , tabs as [t], etc. The symbols are shown below the list of replacements.

Create and edit a replacement

When creating and editing a replacement, the window shown below opens.

In the text "What to find" and "Replace with" you can use the newline and tabs.

In the new version, you can set the number of replacement repetitions. For example, if you need to replace repeated spaces, leaving only one. Switch the option "Repeat replacement" to "As long as there is something to replace." All extra spaces will be removed.

Replacing text in files

Approximate course of action:

  • Select folder with files
  • Set the file mask if necessary (in the example it is "*.txt;*.xml")
  • Mark the required files
  • Click the "Replace" button

Upon completion of file processing, a message will be displayed indicating the number of replacements made.

You can see the log of the replacements made.

Replacing text on the clipboard

The Clipboard tab shows the text copied to the clipboard. When you click "Replace" this text according to the list of replacements. After that, you can immediately paste the modified text using Ctrl+V.

Added the ability to replace text in the clipboard by hotkey Ctrl+Shift+C.

Replacing selected text in any program

Hotkey added Ctrl+Shift+X to replace selected text in any program. It doesn't matter what program you use to edit the text. Just highlight the text and click Ctrl+Shift+X.

Replacement in XML files

To do this, when editing the replacement, check the "XML" checkbox and set the xPath. Only text in attributes and between tags (including those in the CDATA section) is affected. Searches for all elements for which the xPath condition is true. The text is replaced in the element itself and in all child elements (see example 2.a). The file extension can be anything (not necessarily xml).

Examples: Let's replace "text" with "TEXT", but not in all the text, but only in the right places

Source XML (fragment)


text color
text color

1. xPath = "//item/@name"

Result:


text color
text color

2.xPath="//item"

Result:


TEXT color
TEXT color

3.xPath="//item/title"

Result:


TEXT color
text color

Note:
If you do not specify "what to find" when specifying xPath, then any text according to the specified xPath will be replaced.

Working from the command line

For start UV FilesCorrector From the command line, you need two files:
- a file containing a list of files to replace
- a file containing a list of replacements (create the necessary replacements using UV FilesCorrector and save to a file).

The utility runs in stealth mode and closes when it completes its work. Command format:

"UV FilesCorrector.exe" "Files.txt" "Replaces.lst"

An example of a Files.txt file with a list of files to replace. File names must be on separate lines. You can use full and relative (relative to the folder in which Files.txt is located) paths to files.

c:\Temp\Test.txt
Annual report.txt
Docs\Document1.txt

As an example of a Replaces.lst file, you can take the Default.lst file from the program directory.

Attention:
Only those substitutions will be made in which 1

Replace provided

Suppose there are many files in the folder in which you need to correct the text. But some files do not need to be corrected (either already fixed, or simply not needed). In such cases, additional substitution conditions are useful, where you can specify:

  • Replace if text "..." is present
  • Replace if missing text "..."
  • Do not replace if the text "..." is present
  • Do not replace if text "..." is missing

The text will be replaced only if all specified conditions are met.

Pattern Search (Regular Expressions)

A very powerful search tool. When the text itself is unknown, but its properties are known. For example, find and remove all e-mail addresses or phone numbers from the text.

As a very simple example, here is a regular expression:

This expression searches for three digits in a row in the text. You can search in the text for e-mail, URL, phone number and many other things.

UV FilesCorrector now has a wizard to help you build regular expressions.

The wizard window itself contains a quick reference to regular expressions and a built-in expression checker.

To validate a regular expression, fill in the "Text to validate" text box. If you check the "Analyze each line" checkbox, then the regular expression will be applied to each line. Otherwise, to the entire text. When checking, you should specify both the lines that match the condition, and those that should be skipped.

A fragment of a regular expression in brackets forms a subpattern (subtext) that can be used in "Replace with". $1 is the first substring, $2 is the second, and so on. More details on the examples below.

Original text Sample Replaced by Result
before 1234 after (\d+) price $1 rub. before price 1234 rub. after
before 1234 after (\d+) $1.00 before 1234.00 after
before 1234 after (\d(2))(\d(2)) $2$1 before 3412 after
... [email protected]... \s([\w.] [email protected][\w.]+)\s $1 ... [email protected]...

Word can automatically insert text: it can be blocks of preformatted text from the AutoText gallery, or words, phrases, or sentences that are automatically completed after you type a few characters.

A small program that saves a lot of time on replacing repetitive texts in a large number of files.

This program is very useful to anyone who works with text files that contain repeating fragments. Basically, the author assumed that it would be useful for web programmers working directly with html or php files.

But, it should be mentioned right away that this program cannot be used to process office document files, since in doc, docx, xls, odt and the like formats, information is stored in encoded form, and not in pure text.

Thus, having processed a document file with this program, you can completely spoil it. Be careful when choosing files to process.

Also, immediately note: if the same folder is selected as the source and destination folder, then the source files will be replaced by the processed files without prompting to replace the files. Even if they are "Read Only".

After all the warnings, let's finally look at the program itself.

Installing APE Utilities for the web designer

The program does not require installation, so just download the archive for yourself, unpack it to the place on the disk from where it will be convenient for you to run it and run it.

Interface

APE Utilities for the web designer consists of one main working window, which changes slightly when you select different tabs responsible for different file processing nuances.

Working with the program

Text replacement - the main tab of the program. It is designed to replace one piece of text with another in selected files. Let's test with a specific example. For example, I need the text "P.S." at the end of all articles enclose in strong tags.

An important point: it is highly desirable that the files being processed are not opened in any other programs (for example, in text editors), otherwise an error may pop up in that editor.

So to start replacing:

  1. By clicking on the line "Source folder", select the desired folder in the explorer, in which the files to be processed are located;
  2. Just below, fill in the fields "Which text to replace?" and "What text to replace?";
  3. In the right part of the window, in the "Contents of the selected folder" section, mark those files that we want to fix with the mouse and the Shift and Ctrl keys;
  4. Press the "Process" button.

If everything is done correctly, the program will replace the text we specified in the selected files.

Working with the tabs "Insert at the beginning", "Insert at the end", "Delete text", "Search for text", "Files", "Tags" and "Site map" works in a similar way with minor differences (sometimes there are just fewer fields, to be completed). Only the "Register" tab is significantly different.

Register tab

This tab is designed to work with text copied to the clipboard. She works on the fly.

That is, if APE Utilities for the web designer is open on this tab and one of the switches in the program is selected, then as soon as you copy some text to the clipboard, this text will immediately be formatted according to the selected switch option and placed back in clipboard.

These nuances are described in sufficient detail in the program window itself:

Other program features

It remains only to describe the button menu at the very bottom of the working window of the program. From left to right:

  1. "Process" - starts processing the selected files;
  2. "Help" - shows a window with help for the program;
  3. "Update list" - reloads the list of files in the source folder, while the selection of files is reset;
  4. "Selection" - simply resets the selection of files;
  5. "Save" - ​​creates a text file on the Desktop with a list of changed files;
  6. "Output mode" - toggles the display of modified or unchanged files to the far right field.

Perhaps this is all that can be said about this program. To summarize:

Advantages and disadvantages of the program

  • simple interface;
  • additional chips like text processing on the clipboard;
  • memory for 4 folders.
  • works with only one folder at a time;
  • the choice of folders each time starts from the root;
  • the window cannot be resized;
  • the usefulness of some tabs is rather doubtful, their functions can be easily performed in the "Text Replacement" tab.

conclusions

The program is interesting, but it looks a little under-optimized.

P.S. It is allowed to freely copy and quote this article, provided that an open active link to the source is indicated and the authorship of Ruslan Bogdanov is preserved.

Hello, in this article we will consider a fairly useful tool for copywriters, rewriters, as well as those who are engaged in stamping HSs - a synonymizer. There are synonymizers that allow you to do automatic text rewriting online, and sometimes quite full-fledged software that requires installation. Moreover, there are both paid versions and free ones.

It is not difficult to guess, based on the name, what is the function of this program. Right - replacement of words in the text with synonyms. Synonym databases are taken from dictionaries. Using this software or online synonymizers, you can get a certain% of the uniqueness of the material, usually 95 - 100%. Alas, the readability of the text after the synonymy will be lame. You can compare it, for example, with Google translation of text from Russian into a foreign language and vice versa, or even worse. If you plan to use this text for satellites, then only a cosmetic rewrite is required. You can select and replace synonyms that are more appropriate in meaning to the article in the synonymizers themselves. But, if attracting traffic is also your goal, you will have to make some efforts to edit the resulting text.

Of course, if you need more or less good quality content, but you don’t have the time and desire to write yourself, then you can order content on article exchanges, for example, on eTXT. Personally, I order articles for one of my sites (http://kidnurture.ru) from there. It comes out very well.

Synonymizers are often used to article reproduction, so from one article you can make 10, 20, or even 100. Why generate so many identical articles? And this is done to promote the site with articles, to place generated multiplied articles on the sites with a link to your site. Here is an excellent article exchange where you can earn money by posting articles on your site, as well as order articles there - Miralinks.

The best free online text synonymizers

A small list of free online text synonymizers.

The editor 602 Pro PC Suite was created by foreign developers, and therefore it is not Russified and does not check the spelling of Russian texts. The current version of the package includes four applications: 602Text text editor (for working with Microsoft Word files), spreadsheet editor 602Tab (for working with Microsoft Excel files), 602Photo graphics editor and 602Album document integration tool.

It is rather difficult to find fundamental differences in the interface of Microsoft Word and 602Text - standard rulers, the ability to view a document in a regular format, with pagination, with structure display and as HTML. Even the location of the icons on the toolbar of both editors is almost the same.

For most of the standard features that an advanced text editor should be able to perform, 602Text does an excellent job, and sometimes even much faster than Microsoft Word. If we talk about compatibility, then 602Text perfectly understands all common text formats, including Word. Moreover, by default, this editor offers to save text in Word format, although it also has its own format for documents. In a word, this package can serve as an almost complete free replacement for MS Office.

The program supports Win-1251, Dos-866, Koi-8r, Mac and ISO-8859-5 encodings and conveniently switches between them. Four utilities are built into the editor to make your work easier: clipboard viewer, password generator, calculator, and system information. Of the original features of this editor, it is worth mentioning the built-in password generator.

Additional information about the editors presented in this review can be obtained on the servers of the manufacturers of these programs. I would like to emphasize the fact that almost all the editors mentioned here are absolutely free. It should also be noted that, according to the results of the poll on ProDTP.Ru, the majority of respondents voted in favor of Hieroglyph.
