For program designers or software developers a powerful and easy to use text and code editor is a very important tool that they must have. The standard text editor that comes along with the operating system provides very basic functions for us. It does not meet our need for editing complicated code. Is there a full-functions text and code editor that can meet most need of us? Yes, of course! Here is an excellent and easy to use text and code editor for us. That is EditPad Pro. Following is the detailed presentation of this full-featured professional source editor.

EditPad Pro is a powerful and versatile code editor or word processor, designed to make text editing as convenient as possible. With it we can write and edit all our plain text files such as source code, scripts, web sites, logs, letters, memos, reports, articles, etc. The text documents edited with this tool go through live spell checking, column editing, extensive clipboard and block editing abilities, project files, word count and other statistics, text wrapping and unwrapping and much more. Source code can also be written easily with the help of this tools syntax coloring, search and replace with regular expressions and so on. The tool is featured by the clip collection which allows us to edit more quickly and more features beneficial to the user. Overall, this must have tool is extensively configurable as per the tastes and preferences of the user. The key functions and benefits of this great professional source editor include:

EditPad Pro has a lot of functionality that makes editing text files more convenient for us. A lot of this does not sound very impressive or even works behind the scenes, but we will surely appreciate it when we 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 we 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.

We can make sure we're writing with proper spelling by using EditPad Pro's spell checker. Word lists are available in many languages. We can tell EditPad Pro to point out misspelled words in the current file, current project, all open files, or just the selected text. Turn on Live Spelling to make EditPad Pro highlight misspelled words as we type.

EditPad Pro sports one of the most extensive search-and-replace features of any text editor. Quickly find the part of the file we 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 our own library of high-octane text editing wizards.

EditPad Pro's syntax highlighting is fully configurable. We can change the colors to mimic the CodeGear or Visual Studio IDE, or choose our 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 us 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. We 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 we 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 we're editing. Such a snippet can be a word, phrase, three paragraphs, half a book, or anything we 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 our web pages and scripts to our web server right within EditPad Pro. We can even edit web pages directly on the server via FTP, without having to download the HTML files to our computer's hard disk first. EditPad Pro transfers files in the background, so we'll never have to wait for all files to download, or for a file we've saved to finish uploading. We 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 we want to keep and/or for how long. The File History shows us the backup copies for the current file. We can easily open and compare backups, as well as save specific milestone copies. EditPad Pro's unlimited undo and redo even allows us 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 we made to a file, or for double-checking the changes somebody else made to a file we sent them. We 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 our text files. We can easily open the web site by double-clicking the URL in EditPad Pro. Of course, we can always turn this option off.

When writing a report or an article that has certain length requirements, we can use EditPad Pro's statistics feature to instantly see how many paragraphs, words and letters we've typed so far. Get statistics for just the current file, or for all files in a project, or even all files in all projects.

If we need to type in some special characters not available on our keyboard, we can use EditPad Pro's character map to quickly insert them by double-clicking on them. Easily insert special symbols like the trademark or copyright symbol into our documents, or enter letters from a foreign script that our keyboard does not support. If we save our files as Unicode files, we can use any character known to mankind.

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 we explicitly convert it. We'll never have to worry about being unable to open a text file, and we'll always be able to save our 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.
