TRINFINITY SOFTWARE RELEASES ASCII TOOLS PRO 1.0
For immediate release.
Trinfinity Software releases ASCII Tools Pro for Macintosh.
New York, N.Y. - - November 6, 2002 - - Trinfinity Software released
ASCII Tools Pro 1.0 today. ASCII Tools Pro is a development tool for
Macintosh developers. It allows developers to easily manipulate text faster,
saving time and money.
ASCII (Pronounced ASKEEEE) stands for American Standard Code for Information
Interchange. ASCII is a code for representing characters as numbers so that
they can be stored in a computers memory. For example, uppercase "A" would
be stored as 65. Before ASCII, most computers had their own codes for
storing letters. This made it difficult to exchange data between computers.
For example, computer number one represents the letter A as 42 and computer
number two represents the letter Q as 42, then when a text file was
transferred from computer number one to computer number two, all of the A's
would be replaced with Q's. ASCII was proposed and accepted as a standard
code for representing characters, which allowed computers to transfer text
with each other. This made email possible.
ASCII Tools Pro, like it's freeware predecessor ASCII Tools, contains a
table that allows developers to convert a character to it's ASCII value in
decimal and in hexadecimal. ASCII Tools Pro is much more advanced. ASCII
Tools Pro's table contains character, decimal, hexadecimal, octal, and
binary values plus HTML Entities and keyboard combinations. Press a key on
the keyboard while in the table and the table automatically scrolls to the
entry for that key. Double click on a selection in the table and the data is
copied to the clipboard.
The ASCII table is only one of the many useful features of ASCII Tools Pro.
In the "Convert" tab, you can enter the character value in any format (i.e.
binary, octal, etc.) and ASCII Tools Pro will display all of the other
formats for that character.
The "Extract" tab allows you to load a file and extract the ASCII values by
selecting a character in the file.
Last, but not least, the "Format" tab gives developers amazing power to
clean up and format text. To use this feature, developers select the text in
the edit field that they want to modify and select one of the "Actions" in
the Actions table. Actions are open source scripts from Trinfinity Software,
written in RBScript, that can be used with multiple applications. There are
currently over one hundred Actions included with ASCII Tools Pro and there
are many more to come. If you can't find an action to accomplish what you
want, you can write one yourself. Here are some examples of the Actions that
come with ASCII Tools Pro:
* Convert character to base value.
* Add or remove C style comments.
* Add or remove C++ style comments.
* Capitalize, Lowercase, or Uppercase.
