tools for massaging metadata

From: Avila, Regina L. <regina.avila_at_nyob> Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2009 10:15:07 -0400 To: CODE4LIB_at_LISTSERV.ND.EDU

Can anybody share some good tools for massaging metadata? For anything from file renaming to cleaning ASCII characters to various formulas?  I know Excel does a lot of things but I'm looking for other useful software to consider. I'm familiar with Parserat, Notepad++, A Better File Rename and a few others.  Any other gems I should know?

Thanks.
