25 Text Batch Processing Tools Reviewed


Prøv at tage en tekst og udskift et ofte forekommende ord med f.eks GIS eller kort og se hvad der så sker ... Det meste er noget sludder, men der kan også opstå en uventet ide eller en ny skæv vinkel på et kendt fænomen ...

Try and 'search and replace' a text and transform one of the often used expressions into the word 'GIS' or 'map' ... The result is for the most parts gibberish nonsense but from time to time it can also ignite a sudden idea or create a new angle to the subject not seen before ...
