QVASIMODO's String Tools
This project is basically a quick way of applying macros, i.e., sequences of editing commands, to a portion of text.
You create a "ruleset", which is basically a sequence of "rules" to be sequentially applied to the source text.
The original text is entered in the top left box, while the result appears in the top right box.
Program configuration is stored in a sqlite file in a '.panglossa' directory in the user's home folder.
Remember that the "rules", or commands, will be applied sequentially, in the order they are listed. So, each command will operate on the result of the previous command.
You can easily copy, paste, load and save both the source and the result texts.
This program is written in Lazarus (FreePascal). The only non-standard library used is Zeos, but the program can be easily adapted to use Lazarus' native database components.
The only requirement for running it is sqlite (the package installed on Linux; the sqlite dll on Windows, either in the system directory or in the same folder as the program).
