Publisher's description of TextPad
From Helios Software Solutions:When just getting the job done is work enough, the last thing you need is to waste time having to learn yet another computer application. Your experience with other tools should be relevant to each new application, making it possible to sit down and use that new application right away.
That's why TextPad is so popular. Whether you simply need a powerful replacement for Notepad, a tool for editing your web pages, or a programming IDE, TextPad does what you want, the way you would expect.
Editor's review of TextPad

- "Programmer's pal"

- Version reviewed: TextPad 5.2.0
When Word is too much and Notepad isn't enough, you might want to give TextPad a look. The text tool requires little drive space, but comes with a surprising array of unique features that are especially useful for programming tasks. A group of simple formatting tools such as indenting, line numbering, character transposing, and condition-based word wrapping help keep code in order. It offers excellent customization features, letting you create formatting and code coloring specific to whatever language you're programming in. Those looking for a robust tool for low-end desktop publishing will be disappointed, however. TextPad works best for programmers and other people who need a full-featured tool for plain text.

Version: TextPad 5.2.0
"Just the best text editor I have ever used."
Pros: Light, stable, a lot of usefull functions that can be easily enhanced by macros or setting up another programming language. Strong searching and replacement tools between files and folders.
Cons: I've been working with textpad for 5 years as my main editor and have not found anything I dislike.
Summary: Great for editing plain text or csv files, to search search and replaceon files and directories, to filter data on log files. It's not a problem for textpad opening and working with huge files, I have been editing files over 500Mb.

Version: TextPad 5.2.0
"Sounds great, can't read all of review"
Pros: I would really like to be able to get past the ". . . more >>" tag at the end of the review. It pushes me into a page for KnoxNews. Please fix this. Then I can respond with my own impressions, since I will try this software.
Cons: Not being able to read the review.
Summary: Alternative to Notepad ++, possibly a little simpler and more flexible for html editing.
Now I would rank TextPad as zero stars. I downloaded and configured TextPad as an HTML edi... read more >>

Version: TextPad 5.2.0
Pros: Advanced search/replace, Spellcheck, Syntax-Highlighting, Line Numbering, Multiple Document Handling, Macros, minimize to tray, windows shell integration. You can also setup line highlighting for emphasizing what line of a computer program you are on
Cons: You have to customize the program to fit your needs. if you don't customize it's window location and it's behavior, you probably won't enjoy using it. Also remember to enable syntax highlighting if you are writing a program.
Summary: Textpad is a great program, and I recommend you buy it! It's completely free upgrades, so you won't buy over and over again, and there are free AddOns and Syntax Definitions you can download from their website. If you're not sure if this suits your ... read more >>
