PSTextMerge Version 3.0 Adds Direct MS Excel® Access

Scottsdale, AZ -- April 24, 2005 -- PowerSurge Publishing has just released PSTextMerge at version 3.0. PSTextMerge is the new name for the program previously known as TDF Czar. This latest release adds the ability to read data from Microsoft Excel® spreadsheets directly, eliminating any need to save the data in tab-delimited format. Another new feature is an alternate set of command and variable delimiters that should enjoy greater compatibility with popular HTML editors. A slew of other minor enhancements rounds out this release, including the ability to read XML data, to translate characters to XML entities (for use in RSS feeds, for example), and to format dates for output.

PSTextMerge is a software package that empowers its users to perform many useful functions with lists of data. PSTextMerge can input, sort, filter, merge and output such data. Scripts can be easily recorded to automate repetitive operations.

One of PSTextMerge's most popular and powerful features is the ability to merge data lists into specially formatted HTML templates, generating custom Web pages fully populated with the user's data. This scheme allows the dynamic, changing content of a Web page to be easily separated from its static format, so that each portion can be more easily maintained in a source program suited to the data type. When the dynamic data changes, PSTextMerge can quickly regenerate the Web page with the latest data.

PSTextMerge is written in Java and is available for all major computing platforms, including Mac OS X, Windows, and virtually all versions of Unix. A demo version of the program can be downloaded from the PowerSurge Publishing Web site, at www.powersurgepub.com. The demo version has all functions fully enabled for an unlimited period of time, but will only process a maximum of 20 data records. A single-user license is available for US $20. See the company Web site for further information.
