Who knows a good programming text editor?

[HawkBoy 0]

I'm pretty sure that at least some of u ppl are programmers of some sort. Does anyone know a good text editor or dev environmenr prog?

 

The most important thing for me is color coding the text. I want something that works with (at least) html, javascript, java, c++, and css.

 

It would be nice if the prog was freeware or shareware so i could test it before having to pay for it.

I'm a big fan of textpad

There is also a program with a bit more features called edit plus

Edit+ kicks butt!! With all the plugins for it and stuff.

I use it to edit my Python, Perl and Kickstart scripts.

Very fast and easy to use.

Have a look at FirstPage 2000.

You can edit anything with it.

Great and powerful editor. It's free.

I use Primal Script for all my programming, HTML and scripting.

Primalscript does look pretty cool (over here if you can't find it), and I have used UltraEdit as well. I currently use VisualStudio.NET, but I imagine that might be a bit higher on the scale than what you were looking for.

I use Edit+ sometimes, it is not a bad lil app. Hey Clutch how do you like VS.NET? I am still using VS6.0 Enterprise and was thinking of upgrading, honestly is it worth it? What are the major difs?

It's awesome if you are planning to go to .NET coding (which runs *really* fast doing the same things that regular ASP did), and it does launch and run faster than VS6 did. However, if you are still going to code using the older languages then it would be a waste of money getting it. But if you are even *thinking* of going to .NET, it's definately worth trying out. The debugger is far superior to its predecessor in tracking both ASP and ASP.NET executions, it does a really nice job with using the code-behind pages (to separate the formatting from the code), and the Intellisense tech is really nice as well for letting you know that something is probably not going to work (but it will NOT autocorrect it for you, which is an added bonus).

www.jedit.org by far my favorite.

I really like vim (the console version) or gvim (the gui version). It's basically unix vi with knobs on. Maybe it's my unix background...

Best HTML editor!

 

Professional Notepad is a advanced tool that allows you view and edit HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, PERL, SQL, Delphi, C++ and other languages source code.

It is a powerful editor supporting the features you've always dreamt about, such as syntax highlighting, Code Templates, bookmarks, unlimited text size, etc.

 

· Unlimited text and line size - Professional Notepad can work with really huge files and is still very fast.

· Syntax parsing and highlighting - syntax schemes for most common languages (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, PERL, SQL, Delphi, C++) are included.

· DOS&Windows charset support - Professional Notepad will automatically select charset when file opening.

· Hyperlinks - all hyperlinks will be automatically highlighted and followed when you clicks URL.

· Drag&Drop support - both Copy and Move are supported.

· Unlimited multilevel undo/redo.

· Line numbers - you can display the line numbers in Professional Notepad.

· Printing - color printing is supported.

· Export to HTML and RTF with color syntax.

· Bookmarks - up to 255 bookmarks in one text are supported. Images will be displayed on the gutter to mark the lines with bookmark.

· Regular expressions in search and replace.

· Word wrap. If you are working on the text with long lines, word wrap feature becomes extremely useful. You will not need to scroll far any more - since all long lines will be wrapped to fit the size of editing area.

· Code Templates - speed up the development process and help maintain consistency throughout your websites.
