Automatic text formating tool?

Does anyone know if automatic text formatting tool exists in the following sense:

You load a txt file containing article text. It has a headline and the article body has no paragraphs, nor any other kind of formatting. You press a button, after making some setting like: I want to have paragraphs 4 sentences each, bold some words, adjust start of paragraph word spacing, auto correct grammar and spelling....etc

Most import would be auto paragraphing as other stuff could be quickly done in Word or similar software.

I think you should look into learning RegEx. It will help with many of your needs other than the grammar/spell check.

I don't think there is a tool like this, because in coding the logic here would be very hard to define, and in most cases, useless, just use your hand to do this, though its boring lol.

If you mean auto check grammar: Grammarly.com would do this
other small automatic functions you can check: textmechanic.co

Regex is a way to search a text. It can't help with anything I just listed unless I want to program a tool like this. I don't.

You are actually right. Regex is a tool to use for this (better than learning to program). I'll some more to find a tool before I consider going deeper into regex.

Cool! Glad you researched a bit more. I use RegEx constantly for modifying text . Notepad++ (free) and Sublime Text (paid) both have RegEx support.

Yes. RegEx is the way to go. That way you are in control and can modify based on your specific needs.
