The Parser and Tokenizer classes offer REALbasic developers the power to add all kinds of new and exciting functionality to their projects. The Tokenizer class provides sophisticated string chopping capability, far in advance of the built-in Split and NthField operations available in REALbasic. The Tokenizer lets you define tokens using regular expressions for both pattern matching and replacement. For even more powerful string handling, the Parser class can take the token stream produced by the Tokenizer and perform semantic processing, collapsing the tokens into syntactic structures of your own design. Developers could use this as the basis of a custom XML parser or validator for example, or even a scripting language interpreter.

The 4-Sight FAX/FaxPack solution enables fax users to send and receive both fax and email messages from anywhere in the world via an Internet connection.

Added end-user productivity savings within REALbasic applications make it an ideal tool for eliminating wasted time on fax retries and paper jams linked to traditional faxing methods. Together, 4-Sight FAX and FaxPack provide an industrial strength messaging solution with seamless integration capabilities. REALbasic developers can automate direct fax and email for their users from custom applications.
