A Powerful and Convenient Text Editor
EditPad Pro has a lot of functionality that makes editing text files
more convenient for you. A lot of this does not sound very impressive or
even works behind the scenes, but you will surely appreciate it when
you need it. These are only a small number of EditPad Pro's many little
features that make heavy text editing a breeze.
With EditPad Pro you can easily open and edit many text files at the
same time. There's no limit. Arrange text files into multiple projects
to open them at once and edit them together. Open all files in a folder
(and its subfolders) into a project. Many of EditPad Pro's editing
commands can work on all files in a given project at once. Quickly
switch between files and projects by clicking on their tabs. Move back
and forth with the handy "previous editing position" and "previously
edited file" commands. Manage long lists of text files and large
projects with the handy file manager sidebar which can rename, move,
copy and delete files.
EditPad Pro sports one of the most extensive search-and-replace features
of any text editor. Quickly find the part of the file you want to edit.
Highlight matches, fold lines, and skip over matches and files.
Instantly make many replacements throughout a (rectangular) selection,
file, project, or all files in all projects. Use regular expressions and
adaptive case options for powerful and dynamic search terms and
replacements. Clever use of EditPad Pro's search-and-replace can
automate much tedious editing.
Record and play back keystroke macros to reduce repetitive tasks to a
single key combination. Record a search as part of a macro to instantly
edit all search matches in any particular way. Save any number of macros
to build your own library of high-octane text editing wizards.
EditPad Pro's syntax highlighting is fully configurable. You can change
the colors to mimic the CodeGear or Visual Studio IDE, or choose your
own colors. EditPad Pro ships with large number of syntax coloring
schemes, all of which are fully editable.
EditPad Pro's File Navigator can show you a detailed layout of the
file's structure. Use it to instantly jump to the relevant part in the
file. A large number of file navigation schemes for various programming
languages and other file formats are included. All file navigation
schemes are fully editable. You can create schemes to visualize the
layout of almost any kind of file. The schemes can also make various
blocks of text foldable with a single click. By folding blocks you can
hide lines to get a better overview of the file's structure, making it
easier to rearrange blocks of code or navigate between them.
EditPad Pro's Clip Collection makes it easy to keep a list of text
snippets at your fingertips, ready to be inserted into the file's you're
editing. Such a snippet can be a word, phrase, three paragraphs, half a
book, or anything you want. Clips can consist of "before" and "after"
parts to be inserted around a selection.
Use EditPad Pro's built-in FTP client to upload your web pages and
scripts to your web server right within EditPad Pro. You can even edit
web pages directly on the server via FTP, without having to download the
HTML files to your computer's hard disk first. EditPad Pro transfers
files in the background, so you'll never have to wait for all files to
download, or for a file you've saved to finish uploading. You can go on
editing right away. EditPad Pro can stay connected to multiple servers.
Don't worry about saving files with EditPad Pro extensive auto-save and
backup options. Choose how many backup copies you want to keep and/or
for how long. The File History shows you the backup copies for the
current file. You can easily open and compare backups, as well as save
specific milestone copies. EditPad Pro's unlimited undo and redo even
allows you to undo changes after saving them.
Compare any two files to get a view of the differences between two
files, or check which changes were made between two (backup) copies of
the same file. EditPad Pro can highlight difference, merge the two
files, and extract the differences or similarities into new files. Very
convenient for rolling back inappropriate changes you made to a file, or
for double-checking the changes somebody else made to a file you sent
them. You can easily send files via email right within EditPad Pro.
Use rectangular selections to easily edit columns of text. Any editing
command that works on a usual linear selection also works on a
rectangular selection. Shift and insert columns left and right, move
blocks up and down, fill and indent blocks, etc. Handy commands to
begin, end, shrink and expand selections make it easy to work with
blocks spanning many pages.
Easily edit all kinds of lists with handy commands to sort lines
alphabetically and delete duplicate lines. Use these commands with
rectangular selections to sort and trim lists of multiple columns on one
of the columns.
EditPad Pro will highlight URLs (web site addresses) and email addresses
in your text files. You can easily open the web site by double-clicking
the URL in EditPad Pro. Of course, you can always turn this option off.
EditPad Pro edits all text files. Open text files saved on Linux, UNIX
and Macintosh computers, or even text files from old DOS PCs or IBM
mainframes. EditPad Pro preserves the file's compatibility with those
systems, unless you explicitly convert it. You'll never have to worry
about being unable to open a text file, and you'll always be able to
save your files in a format that people with less flexible text editors
can read. EditPad Pro handles DOS/Windows, UNIX/Linux and Macintosh line
breaks. Open and save text files encoded in Unicode (UTF-8, UTF-16 and
UTF-32), any Windows code page, any ISO-8859 code page, and a variety of
DOS, KOI8 and EBCDIC code pages. Convert files between any of these
encodings.
