# TextTools
Text processing tools for Windows - wargs (xargs for Windows), wconv (iconv for Windows)
## wargs - xargs for Windows
wargs works like [xargs](https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/xargs.1.html), but is
coded using Win32 APIs and includes some Windows-specific options.
- Option to specify the input text encoding. Text is converted to Unicode before
parsing and constructing the command lines.
- Option to launch commands in the background (don't wait for command to exit).
- Option to read input from clipboard.
- Supports up to 64 concurrent child commands.
## wconv - iconv for Windows
wconv works like [iconv](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/iconv.1.html), but is
coded using Win32 APIs and includes some Windows-specific options.
wconv is based on TextToolsLib, which supports a streaming interface on top of the
Win32 MultiByteToWideChar and WideCharToMultiByte APIs. As a result, it gains both
advantages and disadvantages of the Win32 APIs. It natively supports all Windows
SBCS and DBCS encodings in addition to UTF-8, UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE, UTF-32LE, and
UTF-32BE. However, it does not support any of the more-complex MBCS encodings.
## TextToolsLib - streaming text encoding/decoding library
- ArgParser.h - simple command-line argument parsing (getopt-style semantics).
- CodeConvert.h - streaming conversion from SBCS/DBCS/UTF to UTF-16LE and from
UTF-16LE to SBCS/DBCS/UTF. The SBCS, DBCS, and UTF-8 support is based on the
Win32 MultiByteToWideChar and WideCharToMultiByte APIs. The UTF-16 and UTF-32
support is hand-coded. Special support for correctly handling multi-byte
characters that cross buffer boundaries. (Does not support more-complex MBCS
encodings.)
- CodePageInfo.h - simple class for getting properties for a code page.
- TextInput.h - handles input from a pipe, file, console, or other source.
Converts the input from a specified encoding to UTF-16LE using CodeConvert.h.
- TextOutput.h - handles output to a pipe, file, console, or other destination.
Converts the output from UTF-16LE to a specified encoding using
CodeConvert.h.
