Top Perl Studio and Note Studio For Mac Osx Software for Windows

Note Studio for Mac OSX
$39.95 - Dogmelon Pty Ltd

Let's say you make a note of something - a fact, a figure, anything. Regardless of where it is stored, if that information is not available to you when you absolutely need it, it may as well not exist. Note Studio aims squarely at addressing this issue. It is a powerful note-taking system which brings all your information together in one location. With Note Studio, the priority is on getting the notes down quickly. It is inspired by wiki technology, which allows simple text formatting (headings, bold, italic, tables, etc), as well as pages which link together through hyperlinks. Dogmelon has found that people become much better organized when they start using Note Studio. Customers report that it is actually fun to make notes. The result? People make more notes, and their notes are actually useful. Note Studio was originally developed for handheld Palm devices. Dogmelon has learnt a lot of lessons for portable devices which apply equally to laptop or tablet PCs. An obvious example is security. A major concern for mobile users is having their important data compromised if their device is lost or stolen. Note Studio allows you to encrypt notebooks. This means that even if your device falls into the wrong hands, your notes will not be readable. But it is the ease of organizing notes that makes Note Studio most powerful. The way pages are organized in your notebook is very flexible. Because pages can contain links to other pages, your notebook can be arranged like a web-site. This allows simple, logical navigation through your notes. In case you're in a hurry, Note Studio includes a powerful search facility. Often you just vaguely remember that you made a note several months ago. With Note Studio you can search through all of your notebooks, to find the information you're after in seconds.

Eluent Tools
$20 - Eluent Software, L.L.C.

Eluent Tools is a collection of file and folder tools for Windows. The tools include Eluent Replace, a GUI-based, interactive, multi-pattern, multi-file search and replace program that uses Perl regular expressions and supports Perl scripting; Eluent Find, a file contents searcher and viewer that supports a variety of regular expression dialects, including Perl; Eluent Attrib, a program which modifies file and folder attributes, including the Compressed and Encrypted attributes under Windows NT/2000/XP; Eluent Dir, a flexible file finder based on Path Plans, the common method for specifying file searches in Eluent Tools; Eluent EOL, a program for converting text files between DOS/Windows, Macintosh, and Unix formats; Eluent Tab, a program for converting tabs to spaces and vice versa in text files; and Eluent Touch, a program for modifying file and folder timestamps.

The tools were designed to work well as graphical desktop applications launched from the Start Menu and Windows Explorer context menus and as non-interactive command line tools, and they support a number of features related to Microsoft Visual C++ 5 and 6 and Visual Studio .NET, where they make excellent additions to the Tools menu. In particular, Eluent Replace provides Visual C++ with powerful Replace in Files capabilities, and Eluent Find is more flexible than Find in Files. The tools share a common interface for specifying files and folders to process, and settings can be saved in Path Plans for later use. Path Plans provide very flexible filtering options and support a rich variety of sources besides the usual directory search, such as response files, projects currently open in Visual C++ and VS.NET, and the Windows Indexing Service.
