R10Clean Reviewed by The Kleper Report

17/05/09 12:18

R10Clean was reviewed by The Kleper Report on Digital Publishing, April 2009 Edition. It was a good review:

Excerpts Reprinted with permission from The Kleper Report on Digital Publishing <http://www.printerport.com/kdp>, copyright 2009, Graphic Dimensions, Lauderdale by the Sea, FL.

‘Digital Publishers, and others, will find the program extremely useful when there is a need to clean and modify large data files.’

‘With the use of a series of actions the user can quickly process a large number of changes that would otherwise be time-consuming and mentally burdensome using manual means’

R10Clean Lite Released

26/02/09 15:59

To cater for individuals and small businesses with more modest requirements today we have released R10Clean Lite.

R10Clean Lite is the same program as the full edition but features a restriction of 10000 rows only. It is priced at £20, compared to the full edition at £50.

There is no seperate download, the differentiation is made with your license key.

R10Clean Lite is available now - Version 2.0.2. Another edition to 2.0.2 is the ability to save only the selected rows of your grid. This is done by selecting the SRO checkbox.

Excellent R10Clean Review on Version Tracker

15/02/09 22:43

R10Clean Pro Beta just received a great review on Version Tracker. Here is the link:

http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10908056

I’m going to repeat the contents here anyway, because - well just *because*

‘R10Clean goes from strength to strength.

If you are engaged in audit or preliminary research of medical, biological, psychological, social, nursing or paramedical data, especially with yes, no, may-be type responses (and other types of nominal data), do yourself a favour and try this software.

It is simple but very powerful.

Before your tear your hair out on excel, SPSS and the like, you may find that the analysis is much easier after using R10Clean.

The developer is very resonsive to user feedback.

The recent addition of count occurrances can eliminate at one stroke the need to struggle with VCount and CountIF (or similar) in Excel or to have to do this manually.’

r10cleanvtrating

Now that’s a *great* review. Cheers

R10Clean Beta 1.9.7 Available for Download

15/02/09 18:03

Version 1.9.7 of the R10Clean Beta is available for download from here:

www.artenscience.com/autoupdate/latestversions/r10cleanbeta.zip

This is a considerable update. The new features since the last Beta are as follows:

Support has been added for several popular string encodings including:

MacRoman
UTF8
UTF16
MacCentralEurRoman
Windows ANSI
ASCII

A ‘Task Scope’ information label has been added to each task. See screenshot below:

r10cipherbeta197_1

New Task: Remove Punctuation from End of Column ? ! . ; : ,
New Task: Find Empty Strings
New Task: Pad Left / Align Right
New Task: Pad Right / Align Left
New Task: Pad Both / Align Centre

For string padding you can specify your preferred character within the Preferences. Usually you will be padding with a space character, I should imagine, but who knows ?

New Task: Count Occurences

This particular task was suggested by one of my early users, know only as VG! This task will count the occurences of a particular numeric or alphanumeric value within the selected rows / columns. I am told this is important in several areas of science and research.

Please let me have your feedback on this new version.

R10Clean Beta 1.9.55 Available for Download

12/02/09 23:57

Version 1.9.55 of the R10Clean Beta is available for download from here:

www.artenscience.com/autoupdate/latestversions/r10cleanbeta.zip

This version has the following enhancements:

Progress Bar and Counter X of XXX when checking for duplicates.
The duplicate finding code is now multi threaded to allow the UI to function and update during these processes.

I intend to make each of the ‘tasks’ multi threaded with appropriate counters and progress bar before release of Version 2. The finding of duplicates works well - but is currently relatively slow when dealing with tens of thousands of rows. I will be looking at this also before the release of Version 2.

Version 2 will have an increase in price. Some of the new features I have in mind (and have not yet discussed publicly) push the product more towards a corporate purchase which means the price has to be increased in order to appear as a creditable product. This has the effect of increasing my revenue and also helping fund further development of the product. However all licensed users of Version 1 will get a free upgrade to Version 2 when it is released in a couple of weeks or so.

I will also be creating a new website for R10Clean, the domain name is setup and ready to roll

R10Clean Beta 1.9.4 Available

12/02/09 11:38

Version 1.9.4 of the R10Clean Beta is available for download from here:

www.artenscience.com/autoupdate/latestversions/r10cleanbeta.zip

The only change in this version is the addition of ‘Zero Effort Corporate Licensing’. Effectively this allows you to create a text file with your license details embedded and distribute this around your corporation with the application. The text file will be read at program startup and the software automatically licensed on that computer.

For this to work the file must be named: R10Clean_License.ini and be placed in the R10Clean folder with the application.

The contents of the file must look like this, obviously using your own license details instead

R10Clean (formerly DataClean) is approaching a Version 2 release with many additional functions and tasks that have been requested by existing and potential customers. Beta 1.9.3 is now available for download for anyone who is interested in looking at, testing and helping define the Version 2 functionality.

Beta 1.9.3 can be downloaded here: www.artenscience.com/autoupdate/latestversions/r10cleanbeta.zip

So far the changes that have been made to this version over the current release are as follows:

08/02/09 Multiple Save Buttons replaced with Radio Buttons
10/02/09 The first Grid Column is now a Row Number

Version 2 will mainly be focusing on adding new tasks and functionality. So far the only additional task is the ‘Show Duplicates’ task. This has been asked for several times. Once you have executed this task, if you wish to delete the selected duplicates you can use the ‘Remove Selected Rows’ task. Feedback on this new feature is welcomed.
