Loved by Scott Hanselman

Scott Hanselman is a software developer who knows a thing or two about great tools. He's downloaded and used pretty much every piece of software on the internet and Scott's giant list of tools (at hanselman.com/tools ) is widely read and used by developers everywhere. What does he think of NimbleText? Scott rates NimbleText as one of his "BIG TEN LIFE AND WORK-CHANGING UTILITIES"



BIG TEN LIFE AND WORK-CHANGING UTILITIES: NimbleText – Regular Expressions are hard and I'm not very smart. NimbleText lets me do crazy stuff with large amounts of text without it hurting so much.

—Scott Hanselman

Stop! Wait! What's all this about Regular Expressions?

Did he mention regular expressions? Regular Expressions are hard. NimbleText is secretly powered by regular expressions, but YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW THAT. You don't have to know a single thing about regular expressions to be an expert at using NimbleText.

Let me give you a metaphor. You can sit on a fine timber chair without being an expert carpenter. Similarly you can get the benefits and power of regular expressions without actually writing them yourself. This is called the Zen of NimbleText.

Free your mind and your text will follow.



Years of Work

Almost a decade of work has gone into NimbleText. It was initially a very simple tool called 'The Programmers Mate'. In the 10 years since then it has been completely rewritten many times and continually refined and sharpened. It is a labour of love between man and keyboard.

Every time I catch myself performing a repetitive task I stop and assess the situation. This is my curse and this is also my gift to you. NimbleText is the product of that continual analysis of the repetitive nature of the work we're all performing.

On top of that I have many years of Engineering experience, bringing rock-solid products to market, and carefully fine-tuning every aspect of the product to make it dependable, comfortable and well-balanced. NimbleText, in the hands of a user, should have the same easy nature as any hand-crafted tool from a master craftsman.

I just created 250 SQL insert statements from an excel file in a few seconds with NimbleText. This is a great tool! —Daniel Worthy via Twitter

Database Professionals, NimbleText is for you!

NimbleText is great for generating SQL statements. If you write a lot of SQL, then this is a vital tool.

Need to generate an insert statement? NimbleText has you covered. Want to make an update statement?

Or to run one query against many tables?

I bet you do! You do that all the time, and so does NimbleText!

Give those tired fingers a rest, let NimbleText do the boring repetitive stuff, so you can get on with the thinking!

It's for everyone who hates typing the same flipping thing all the time. —Simon Harriyott via Twitter

Software Developers, You'll Love NimbleText!

No matter what language you write in, NimbleText speaks your language.

NimbleText generates Javascript, it generates C#, it generates Java, it generates Ruby. You know the secret already: code is just text, and NimbleText manipulates text with less effort and greater versatility than any tool around.

Want to transform a list of column names into a class definition? NimbleText can do that.

Want to reverse a bunch of assignments? No sweat.

Want to format a bunch of numbers into an array, or bind members of an array to a series of controls: those little bits of repetitive code that crop up all the time are best done with NimbleText.

Stop doing the repetitive monkey work!

You don't get paid the big dollars because you manipulate text, you get the big money because you think clearly, solve real problems and add real value.

So hand the text manipulation and the monkey work to NimbleText. It will free up your wonderful brain to do the unique and special things you do so well!

Data Analysts, NimbleText is the solution!

You're the clever-clogs who turns the company's messed up data into something meaningful that gets the big bosses excited.

And you know the data doesn't turn up all neat and ready for crunching. It has to be formatted, and filtered and sorted and beaten into shape before you can even begin to make head or tail of it. That's where our Nimble friend comes in!

Need to grab the fifth column, but only in rows where the third column is empty? Messy little jobs like that happen all the time. Put NimbleText to work, and the messy data you're receiving will be ship shape in a flash!

Spreadsheets Getting You Down?

The enterprise sure does love its spreadsheets! And you're the girl or guy they call when the problem is too tricky for their own spreadsheet skills.

Whether it's mistreating text as numbers, or insisting that a number is a date, spreadsheets are often the wrong tool for the job. NimbleText has versatile date formatting features, and other goodies to get the job done.

This Is Serious TADMAP!

When you want to perform some serious TADMAP, you need a tool like NimbleText that excels at TADMAP

(What's TADMAP? Text and Data, Manipulation and Processing of course!)
