#TEXTSOAP REVIEW CODE#
For example, after writing an article, I need to replace all quote marks (‘,”) and dashes (–) with the HTML code for their fancy equivalents (’,“, -), as well as convert a few other text items to special characters or graphical equivalents.
I’ve started using a custom cleaner for writing Mac Gems and it’s a major time saver.
Insert text (useful for boilerplates or expanding acronyms). “Quote” text (for example, for inclusion in email). Wrap text (generally or at a specific number of characters). You can create your own cleaners that include any number of combinations of the following actions, in any order: It’s quite pleasing to see a mess of forwarded text instantly transform into a nice, neat paragraph.Īll of these cleaners are very useful, but what won me over is the ability to create custom cleaners. More complex cleaners include SCRUB, which strips spaces, forwarding characters, line feeds, and paragraphs all at once, as well as converting Hex designations (such as the %20 or =20 gunk you often see in email) to their ASCII equivalents (in this case, a space). For example, Spaces replaces multiple contiguous spaces with a single space, Forwarding removes those pesky forwarding characters (>) from email text, and cleaners like Uppercase, Capitalize Words and Straighten Quotes let you manipulate case and formatting. 
The available cleaners range from simple to comprehensive. Simply paste your text into the textSOAP text window and then select your favorite cleaner -a set of rules that tells textSOAP exactly what you want done with your text-and your text is clean as a whistle, ready to be pasted wherever you like. As its name implies, textSOAP cleans your text, but much faster than you could ever do using your mouse, arrow keys, and delete key.
