html2text is a command line utility that converts HTML documents into plain text.

dbacl is a fast Bayesian text and email classifier. It builds a variety of language models using maximum entropy (minimum divergence) principles, and these can then be used to categorize input data automatically among multiple categories.

This package provides converters for various bibliography formats (e.g. Bibtex, RIS, etc.) using a common XML intermediate.

AutoComplete is a library allowing you to add IDE-like auto-completion (aka "code completion" or "Intellisense") to any Swing JTextComponent. Special integration is added for RSyntaxTextArea, since this feature is commonly needed when editing source code. Features include: Drop-down completion choice list. Optional companion "description" window, complete with full HTML support and navigable with hyperlinks. Optional parameter completion assistance for functions and methods, ala Eclipse and NetBeans. Completion information is typically specified in an XML file, but can even be dynamic.

UTF8-CPP is a C++ library for handling UTF-8 encoded text in a portable way.

The drm_tools package contains the following commands:

accudate

An extended version of the "date" program that has sub-second accuracy.

binformat

Format complex binary data into text.

binload

Load data into a binary file using simple commands from the input.

binorder

Sort, merge, search, retrieve or generate test data consisting of fixed size binary records.

binreplace

Find or find/replace in binary files.

binsplit

Split test data consisting of fixed size binary records into one or more output streams.

chardiff

Find changes between two files at the character level. Unlike "diff", it lists just the characters that differ, so if the 40,000th character is different only that one character will be shown, not the entire line.

columnadd

Add columns of integers, decimals, and/or times.

datasniffer

A utility for formatting binary data dumps.

dmath

Double precision interactive command line math calculator.

extract

Extract and emit data from text files based on character or token position.

execinput

A utility that reads from STDIN and executes each line as a command in a sub-process.

indexed_text

A utility for rapid retrieval of text by line numbers, in any order, from a text file.

mdump

Format binary data.

msgqueue

Create message queues and send/receive messages.

mbin

dtmbout

Multiple buffer in and out. Used for buffering a lot of data between a slow device and a fast device. Mostly for buffering streaming tape drives for use with slower network connections, so that streaming is maintained as much as possible to minimize wear on the tape device.

pockmark

Corrupt data streams - useful for testing error correction and data recovery.

tarsieve

Filter, list, or split a tar file.

csvdiff is a diff tool to compute changes between two CSV files. It can compare CSV files with a million records in under 2 seconds. It is specifically suited for comparing CSV files dumped from database tables. GNU Diff is orders of magnitude faster for comparing line by line. csvdiff supports

• Selective comparison of fields in a row

• Specifying group of columns as primary-key to uniquely identify a row

• Ignoring columns

• Several output formats including colored git style output or JSON for post-processing

pandoc-include extends Pandoc to support:

1. include as raw blocks

2. indent and dedent included contents

3. partial include

4. code include

5. Unix style pathname

6. recursive include

7. Yaml header merging

8. header include

utf8proc is a small C library that provides Unicode normalization, case-folding, and other operations for data in the UTF-8 encoding.

pfff is a tool for calculating a compact digital fingerprint of a file by sampling randomly from the file instead of reading it in full. Consequently, the computation has a flat performance characteristic, correlated with data variation rather than file size. pfff can be as reliable as existing hashing techniques, with provably negligible risk of collisions.

libgtextutils is a text utilities library used by the fastx toolkit from the Hannon Lab.

catdoc extracts text from MS-Word files, trying to preserve as many special printable characters as possible. It supports everything up to Word-97. Also supported are MS Write documents and RTF files.

catdoc does not preserve complex word formatting, but it can translate some non-ASCII characters into TeX escape codes. It's goal is to extract plain text and allow you to read it and, probably, reformat with TeX, according to TeXnical rules.

This package also provides xls2csv, which extracts data from Excel spreadsheets and outputs it in comma-separated-value format, and catppt, which extracts data from PowerPoint presentations.

C library for creating and parsing configuration files.

cobib is a command-line based bibliography management tool. It uses a plain-text database, a location-independent library, and features git integration, command-line support, and a curses-based TUI.

This package provides yq, a command-line YAML, JSON and XML processor. It uses jq-like syntax but works with YAML files as well as JSON, XML, properties, CSV and TSV.

libconfuse is a configuration file parser library. It supports sections and (lists of) values (strings, integers, floats, booleans or other sections), as well as some other features (such as single/double-quoted strings, environment variable expansion, functions and nested include statements).

utf8proc is a small C library that provides Unicode normalization, case-folding, and other operations for data in the UTF-8 encoding.

Miller (mlr) is like awk, sed, cut, join, and sort for data formats such as CSV, TSV, JSON, JSON Lines, and positionally-indexed. It supports format conversion and pretty-printing.

dos2unix is a tool to convert line breaks in a text file from Unix format to DOS format and vice versa.

UTF8-CPP is a C++ library for handling UTF-8 encoded text in a portable way.

Open Chinese Convert (OpenCC) converts between Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, supporting character-level conversion, phrase-level conversion, variant conversion, and regional idioms among Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong-Kong.

Oniguruma is a regular expressions library. The special characteristic of this library is that different character encoding for every regular expression object can be specified.

Nkf is yet another kanji code converter among networks, hosts and terminals. It converts input kanji code to designated kanji code such as ISO-2022-JP, Shift_JIS, EUC-JP, UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32.

cobib is a command-line based bibliography management tool. It uses a plain-text database, a location-independent library, and features git integration, command-line support, and a curses-based TUI.
