I've needed such functionality often enough that i wrote a small utility[0] that uses my LIL scripting language[1] (similar to Tcl) to process some text and have its output. A couple of examples are in the shots [2][3] (note that as this is written in Lazarus it also works under Linux and Mac too, though the site only has a Windows executable). Before that i used to write scripts or even full programs (in Free Pascal which has some simple string handling) to do similar processing and i did find it much more cumbersome to go through that route. Of course this only works for editing/generated/transforming text pieces (and i pretty much always use it via clipboard), for processing files i still end up writing full scripts or programs (depending on the case, if i need to preprocess stuff i use another LIL-based tool, lip[4]).
