Notepad - Superversion?

[Sikawtic]

Pretty much I want notepad (very simple .txt/html/php/etc editing system is what I'm looking for) with tabbed documents. Anybody know of such a thing?

I use a shareware program called TextPad. http://www.textpad.com

While it's not technically a super NotePad (I've seen such programs), I use it because it can easily compile Java files, and it has syntax highlighting, plus a bunch of other nifty features. It also has a document browser to the left side, which is sort of like tabs.

http://www.vim.org/ -- needs some learning

Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm) is an excellent replacement for Notepad. And it's open source, too.

But if you're itching for something and powerful, go for vim (http://vim.org) as Seal suggested. Or perhaps emacs (http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) would be more to your tastes.

Personally I use TextPad (linked to by black ice) - I like the line numbering it has, very convenient when I have to find a specific line to edit. It also doesn't force-word-wrap php files like notepad does, making it possible to actually read.

I use TextPad also. The syntax highlighting for PHP and HTML is excellent.

And for what it's worth, I used Notepad2 (http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html).

I didn't mean that kind of word wrap =P

For some reason what my notepad does to PHP files is completely remove all the line breaks -- it's not called word wrap, but thats how I described it in my above post. It's more of a forced-line-break-removal which makes PHP nearly impossible to read.

notepad does not understand Unix-linefeeds and does not display them properly.

But WordPad does. If you open a document in WordPad, resave it as itself, notepad should then be able to read it. =D

And while we're mentioning it, I use Vim. We use it at school for our programming classes, so I installed it on my windows machine, too, just so I'd keep practicing with it. I really like it much. Computer mice are for wimps! =p

I'm a fan of ISPF EDIT when I'm on z/OS. :)
