Any portable freeware to change the case of clipboard text?

#1 Post by garbanzo »

I'm looking for a portable freeware (or just freeware) app that works similarly to the shareware program ChngCase:
A program that reads existing text in Windows clipboard, converts the case of the text to one several different options (UPPERCASE, lowercase, Sentence case, Initial Capitals, tOGGLE cASE) then pastes the text back to Windows clipboard.
Any ideas? I have to change the case of a few hundred little bits of text, and I need to make it as simple as possible.

Thanks!

It is not exactly what you want but till you find better maybe you can use it:

If you are not hurry and like programming I recommend you this:

You can make your own program with your desired functions not just for clipboard replacing but for an entire file too. It can be more confortable.

thanks for the reply. i tried the first one you posted, and it's great, but it does not do sentence case. i found another one on DC by mouser that works, but it's really quite complicated for the job.

i've never used AHK but maybe i'll look into it.

i really do need to deal with clipboard rather than files because the text i need to fix is in ID3 tags of MP3s (lyrics). it's a silly project, but i'm compulsive and i have to do it :)

There are a number of applications that can capitalize correctly any document that they can open, many are in the database here.

You could use emunge a software to replace any text with any other.
You might use a text editor capable of replacing text such as this command line tool listed by Cornflower
Replace.com - Text file search-and-replace utility. It crops columns, replaces higher-order codes (CR and LF and tab for example), and is ultra fast and still works on my Vista Home edition. It was written in 1987 or 88 and I tried in 88-89 to find the author to pay him something and give him credit for this amazing small utility, but could not. If you know of the author let me know.
REPLACE Version 2.01.15 1987-88 (C) Gene Garapic (1:157/502) http://www.dreamlandbbs.com/files/fileg ... index.html
Or try this application that advertises most of what you want.

ClipCase 2.3

Formats text in the system clipboard before you paste it in. Will strip special formatting, convert case, capitalize sentences, add hard-return-lines together, remove double spaces after periods, and delete blank lines. Great for cutting and pasting between apps like mail readers, word processors and page layout.

A clipboard auto edit software ClipCase 2.3b is fairly useful for simple fast cut and paste editing.

Download at http://dougworld.com/appfiles/download/ ... g=clipcase

Info from the Author at http://dougworld.com/appfiles/info/clipcase.html

Just download the zip file, then find and extract from the cab file and it works, at least for me.

Is this portable? I have no Idea but I suspect it may not be fully portable.

The Free Data Capture Tool (FDC) does that. You would have to install it first, copy fdc.exe and fdc folder (help files are stored in there) to a new folder and then uninstall the program. It will create a new .ini file in the application folder. Don't forget to specify the folder to save the captured data.

It's a standalone .exe file, but I did not check if it writes to the registry.
