new text editor
Locked
 
|
I’d like suggestions for text editors. I currently use multi-edit but no support for Unicode is a problem and the company seems to have been in chaos for the past few years, which has meant no updates for a long time.
So: I’d like its replacement to have an equal level of capability. In addition to support for Unicode, the new editor should have column cut/copy/paste (i.e, Ctrl-Shift-F8 in word), file level find/replace (i.e., ability to search a list
of files of type ‘xxx’ in a specified directory and find/replace text), and, at least, simple keystroke macro capability (absolutely NOT visual basic!), and support for extremely long line lengths (10K characters). And, I will pay for the program.
Suggestions, please. Thanks, Gene Maguin |

I use Notepad++, and I think it meets all
your requirements. I quite like it, and it's free.

Hi Gene,
I think you want Notepad++, though I'm not sure about its support for extremely long line lengths.

Gene, Like Jon Peck, I use Notepad++ which has way more features than I use regularly. I am sort of an "editor junkie" so I also use and/or own $ UltraEdit (UE Studio) $
$ EditPad Pro $ SlickEdit -- Quined -- jEdit -- KEDIT (end of life) There are others. Over the years, I have also tried others which I have not kept. The potpourri stems from trying to maintain consistency with clients over several decades.

Given sufficient memory I have loaded 100GB files into Notepad++ (without a whimper). I have never had it fail to load all of a file, but I was not checking line lengths. ... Mark Miller
