| I know there's a lot of Notepad variations out there, but I was wondering which one was the best. Anyone knows ? | |||

I like using EditPlus 2, although I wouldn't go so far as to say it's the best, as you have to register to be able to continue to use it after 30 days, but it's obviously possible to work around that  The things I like about it are the ability to have multiple documents open at once, and have them contained within one window. The syntax coloring is nice as well, although I've only used the program for one thing so far, and that's been in HTML, so I haven't gotten a chance to see what it looks like in some other form  I used to use NoteTab Lite, but I uninstalled that when I found EditPlus  |

| Well... it's nothing like Notepad, but I like Vim (especially with Cream). As for a Notepad-ish thing, Notepad2. |

| I like Metapad; it's small and it does what you'd want from a simple text file editor. I also have UltraEdit on here for large jobs, which are rare. |

Notepad, just plain Notepad. The whole point of it is that it's a very lightweight text editor. I use it for (get this) jotting down notes. It also redraws very, very fast - good for hiding the screen without looking suspicious. (Not that I would ever need to...  )I do find Textpad quite awesome, though. I use it for programming and more advanced text editing (HTML and anything that needs a lot of files open at once or replacements with regular expressions). Just I don't consider it a Notepad replacement, but another editor entirely. I would love to have a Notepad replacement that had those two features, but just those two. Notepad != MSWord Lite. |

| Hell, notepad beats alot of beefier editors. Atleast unicode saves and loads various unicode formats no problem. If only it supported unix and mac linebreaks.... | |||

| Mmm, Word open thoose textfiles fine thought with thoose wierd line-breaks. But Word takes so long time to start, Notepad is just lighting fast. Linux... well, I hadn't found anyone I liked. The thoose I tested was terminal ones, and they kinda confused me. But after some trial and error... it wasn't that much of a problem. I either use Notepad or an hex editor. I actually have used a HEX editor a few times on a few TXT files one of my own programs created. (edited by Kitten Yiffer on 03-18-05 09:39 PM) |

I do that too if the file's too big for Notepad to open. Textpad seems to be a lot better at opening big files though.Originally posted by ||bass Fixed up a bit. |

| The line break thing went back to the early days.... the breaks themselves came from the carriage return then line feed of typewriters. UNIX decided to just use the LF, while CP/M (later to be known commonly as DOS) used CR+LF, then Mac decided to use just the CR. | |||

I run into that linebreak problem a lot with Notepad. I had to edit a bunch of my old HTML files in Wordpad because of that, actually...which is odd, because I could've sworn I originally saved them in Notepad back when I had Windows 95.  |

Originally posted by FreeDOS4GB of what? Virtual memory? RAM? RAM+Virtual memory? I assume it's the last one but heh, I think the limit is a set one actually and that there is versions of Windows NT that have higher limit. Xkeeper, I think that's what the diffrent symbols actually should do according to the ASCII standard... |

Originally posted by Kitten YifferThat's based on the typewriter functions: Line feed would obviously bring the text up a line (seen in Unix) Carrage Return would return the type head to the beginning of the line (Mac) Obviously, DOS uses both, and if things were based off of what they do in reality, that's what would happen. If I had my old dot-matrix printer, I would try printing things with just line feeds and carrage returns, not both |
