Sorry for this long post, but for me, the strength of Clean Text is the sheer number of formatting tricks it has up its sleeve: Fixes Paragraphs. Removes returns within a paragraph and removes multiple empty lines between paragraphs. Replaces multiple spaces with a single space and removes spaces at the beginning and at the end of a line. Replaces each tab with a specified number of spaces. Replaces each sequence of a specified number of spaces with a single tab. Removes the quoting characters “>” at the beginning of lines. Adds the quoting characters “>” at the beginning of lines. Removes returns. Replaces each return with a single space. Adds a specified number of spaces before each line (delimited by line ending). Sorts all the lines all the lines of the text (delimited by a line ending) using ascending order. Capitalizes sentences. Capitalizes the first word of each sentence (delimited by “.” and ellipsis “…”). Capitalizes words. Sets characters to uppercase. Sets characters to lowercase. Random case. Removes duplicate lines. Keeps only the first line between a group of equal lines. Text encoding. Windows to Mac encoding. Mac to Windows encoding. Converts MacOSRoman encoding to Windows Latin 1. ROT-13. Rotates characters 13 positions in the alphabet. Converts to smart quotes. Reverse text. Reverses characters. Reverses each word. Reverses words. Converts three periods to ellipsis. Replaces each chunk of three periods with one single ellipsis (in Mac version only). Converts ellipsis to three periods (in Mac version only). Encodes to Macintosh Line Endings (CR). Encodes to Unix Line Endings (LF). Encodes to Windows Line Endings (CR+LF). Converts all line breaks to “Carriage Return”+”Line Feed” Replaces curly quotes with straight quotes.
