Edit Module Announced

Substitute and/or delete specific data and commands within a “print” job Would the ability to substitute and/or delete specific data and commands within a “print” job without changing them at source be useful to you or your customers? If so, FunAsset can provide a software solution called Edit (now called StreamEdit) that can be seamlessly and cost effectively integrated within any connectivity, data processing and output management system.

How Edit Works

Edit is an Input Extra Processing module that is combined within a FunAsset TN Interface Task application suitable for the connectivity and data processing requirements of the system where Edit will be used. The Task can be installed on a FunAsset TN Interface or on a standard PC with suitable connectivity and integrated anywhere between the data source and destination.

“Print” jobs pass through the Task and are analysed by the Edit module for specific user defined strings. When a string is located, one or more of the following actions are performed:

• Substitute the located string with another string.
  
• Delete the located string.
  
• Delete trailing characters on the same line as the located string.
  
• The Edit module continues to search for strings within a job and perform any of the actions above until the entire job has been analysed.

Examples of Use

• Substitute and/or delete DJDE commands without changing the data at source - useful when outputting legacy LCDS jobs to Xerox EPS printers that require embedded DJDE command syntax to be cleaned up.
  
• Substitute and/or delete PDL commands without changing the data at source - useful for changing the appearance of particular pages within a job.
  
• Substitute and/or delete unwanted characters, strings or entire lines without changing the data at source – useful when outputting jobs that contain out of date information such as telephone numbers or currency symbols.
  
• Delete unwanted trailing characters on a line – useful when additional CR, LF or FF commands need to be removed.
