PrepTags is a file preparation software. Files are prepared in RTF format using the "classic" Trados Styles which are supported by the main CATs on the market including Trados, Wordfast, Déja Vu, MemoQ and probably several others.

PrepTags can be used to prepare all text-based formats, including most Web formats (HTML, XHTML, XML, PHP, ASP, JS, JSON, SQL, Python...), templates (smarty, PO), software strings, configuration files...

The strength of PrepTags is that it allows you to visually prepare files for which no definition exists or which are not considered valid according to the format rules. This is often the case XML files, for instance. If the XML file is not valid, most tools will simply tell you "This file is not valid. No can do". Word won't even open it and Trados will display a nice red warning. Now what? Get PrepTags and it will let you prepare your customer's files without complaining about your customer's code.

TagExtractor extracts tags from XML-like formats (html, xhtml...) and generate a list of unique tags.

This is useful when preparing files, and although it is largely replaced by PrepTags, I decided to release it as a freeware, for those interested.

Mostly replaced with TextUtils, but you can still download it if you prefer a desktop application.

RegExtract is a very simple application that has proven quite useful several times over. It allows you to extract text from a file using a regular expression.

For instance, if you wanted to quickly extract all the "alt" attributes of a HTML file, you could simply type alt=".*?" and immediately get a list of all matches.
