Description
txtproc is a text processing tool, similar to my TIMU. It currently comes without a GUI though, i.e. it is just a command line tool at the moment. It is a completely new implementation.
Compared to TIMU, its most interesting features are:
- It works on Linux as well as Windows (and probably OS X as well)
- It can be used in a pipeline to do multiple text manipulations in a row
- It has a better understanding of text. It knows words and sentences. E.g. "hello,world" are two words in txtproc, but only one in TIMU.
- It has most of TIMU's text processing functions, some new one's which TIMU doesn't have, and even one or two which were requested for TIMU but I never added.
Planned Features
- Add more text processing functions
Add color to console to highlight search results- Add a GUI

I initially wrote this because I wanted to check out biicode and catch. It soon became clear that the projects main challenge would become Unicode support if I was going to use C++. Unfortunately, Boost.Locale is severely limited, and using the ICU library directly would be a project on its own. So I settled for D, which I have never used before, and learned a ton of stuff not only about the language, but about the D community as well.
