Oriented towards English byte characters but can be adapted for other languages to include UNICODE double byte words. PDGREPPE: Pattern Definition GREP with Pattern Editing FGREPPE: Fast or Fixed GREP with Pattern Editing. Each uses (CLI) Command Line Interface and can be customised for International Text bytes, data logging, default directories, environment and extended command line files. Both can edit by interactive or automatic modes with full respect for file-sharing properties. User must specify DOS 8.3 file names. Options are available by menus of FILE, VIEW, SEARCH, REPLACE, MISC & HELP. PDGREPPE has other menus for DEBUG & DEFINITIONS. PDGREPPE searches by Extended Regular Expressions similar to EGREP on UNIX systems. FGREPPE is more simple like FGREP on UNIX systems and does a search and replace based on FIXED patterns. NLX can change text files ordinarily used for UNIX or Apple MAC into MS-DOS usable ones. STRINGS rips sequences of text characters out of binary files so You can see their innards.
