Input Text

Documentation

TransEdit is a text transformation tool that lets you process text through Python functions. Write a transform script, load some input text, and click Process to see the results.

Basic Usage

  1. Load or paste your input text in the right panel
  2. Write a transformation script in the left panel
  3. Click "Process" to transform the text
  4. Use "Save" to download the result, or "Use as Input" to chain another transformation

Example Scripts

Text Pipeline Example
def transform(text):
    # Create a pipeline that:
    # 1. Finds lines containing "error"
    # 2. Excludes lines containing "debug"
    # 3. Strips whitespace
    p = P(text).grep("error").grep_v("debug").map(strip)
    return p.run()

The P class provides methods like:

  • grep(pattern) - Keep lines containing pattern
  • grep_v(pattern) - Exclude lines containing pattern
  • replace(old, new) - Replace text
  • re_search(pattern) - Keep lines matching regex
  • re_sub(pattern, repl) - Regex substitution
  • map(fn) - Apply function to each line

BeautifulSoup HTML Example
def transform(text):
    # Parse HTML and extract all links
    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
    soup = BeautifulSoup(text, 'html.parser')
    
    # Find all links and format them
    links = []
    for a in soup.find_all('a'):
        href = a.get('href', '')
        text = a.text.strip()
        links.append(f"{text}: {href}")
    
    return "\n".join(links)
