Take Command vs HovText

Regular expression pattern enabled tools for text filtering, searching, substitution, and conversion.

Powerfull scripting language with a lot of commands and predefined variables.

File compression tools, e.g. bz2, gz, tar, 7zip and zip.

Command line driven FTP client.

It has a GUI Debugger for Batch files as well the own scripting language (BTM).

HovText has existed for 20 years and has always been open source.

Copying text from the internet or from Office applications most often will include styles and formatting when pasting, but HovText can remove all this formatting, so only the raw unformatted cleartext will be pasted - this is a life-saver :-)

Most recent entries copied/pasted are available from a top-down principle.

When marking text with the mouse, it often adds a whitespace at the beginning or the end of the text or there are some empty lines above or below that gets copied too, but HovText has an option to remove whitespaces at beginning and end - very useful.

When viewing the list of previous copied clipboards, then it is easy to find the relevant text or image you need.

All hotkeys can be configured and all layout, style and screen display can be tweaked, so there is a chance you can have it setup as you want.

Fast, light, no installation process and no registration needed - just "click and use".

The clipboards can be saved to local computer, so it can be reused after a computer shutdown.
