Sort N Slice is a legacy utility designed for developers and technical users. It can sort, reformat, and skip header lines of column-delimited text files. The program allows users to specify a delimiter, sort on multiple keys, and use column modification functions.
Sort N Slice is one of legacy utilities. A product oriented toward developers and technical users, Sort N Slice can sort and/or reformat of column-delimited text files. The program can skip header lines (number is configurable), use regular expressions to process variable data, and has a step-by-step GUI that allows you to graphically determine the correct processing parameters. You can specify the delimiter to use for your data and sort on multiple keys (ascending or descending, case sensitive or not) with different priorities. A special 'column modification' function, which can be used with or without simultaneous sorting, lets you pad specified columns with a user defined character. This same function also lets search/replace characters in a specified column using plain search/replace or regular expression operators. For example, in a specified column you can change the strings "One12" & "Two13" to "Three12" and "Three13" using the regular expression search/replace. Output settings let you specify which of the columns to be included in the output file and the order in which they are to appear (you don't need to include all the originals in the output). The slice function lets you eliminate duplicate lines from your data. Command line switches and scripts are available to easily manage frequent operations. more
