Dirty
Harry is a software tool that fixes or removes troublesome characters
in your mailing list data - characters lurking in your file that may
confuse your printer or hang your computer and halt processing halfway
through a run.
|
Some
things you can do with it:
|
|
Remove or
replace null characters. Change or strip low- and hi-order characters.
Convert European accented characters to English equivalents. Convert
to all upper- or all lower-case. Convert ASCII to EBCDIC and vice
versa. Eliminate or exchange unusual delimiters.
|
Faster
than a Speeding Bullet
|
|
Dirty
Harry can process a 10,000,000 byte file in just over a minute -
almost as fast as the DOS COPY command. Even on the most intensive
tasks (like EBCDIC to ASCII where every character is changed), it
cruises at 500 meg/hour on a 486/66.
|
An
Ounce of Prevention...
|
|
Let Dirty
Harry analyze your files before you start working on them. At
lightning speed, it will give you a listing of each ASCII character
found and the number of times it occurs. You can see immediately what
you've got and what you need to change - before the problems begin.
|
...and
a Pound of Cure
|
|
Once
you've identified the bad guys, send in Dirty Harry to clean them up.
For example, Dirty Harry's a perfect "garbage man" for files
that are translated from EBCDIC to ASCII. It cleans up the leftover
characters that can hang your computer.

How
Harry Does the Dirty Work
|
|
Dirty
Harry's Character Assassin looks at every byte in a file, then strips
or changes the characters you specify using tables that you select,
create, or customize. Dirty Harry works on any Dbase, ASCII or word processor
file. It is compatible with any DOS computer or any operating system
that can make a DOS window.
It's
amazingly simple to use. You can run it interactively, from a batch
file, or from the DOS command line. And with a 12-page user-friendly
manual, getting started takes about five minutes.
Dirty
Harry comes with an easy-to-read manual, free technical support, a
full 60-day satisfaction guarantee, and most important - clean data
files that will process smoothly and profitably every time.
