Notepad Plus One
June 24th, 2008On Linux I usually use vi as my text editor or, for html work, Bluefish, but on windows these are not available.
While writing a program to import text files into a database I was using notepad to view the files to see how to best import them. At this point I became very frustrated that notepad doesn’t even support line and column counters so I can see where I am in a document (useful when parsing fixed width files).
After a short search I’ve downloaded Notepad++, it’s powerful, fast and best of all GPL licensed! I recommend you ditch notepad and try this instead.
