UltraEdit too, which is a little more money but still cheap, and is rumored to
be the most full-featured of these inexpensive programmer's editors. I used to
use SlickEdit, a genuine commercial product, but honestly, its complexity and
expense are a turnoff.

>Well,
I was just getting used to NoteTab Light as my editor, mainly becauseof
its file-compare utility. (It is also free, does regular
expressionsearches even across files; but it did not appear to be able to
do AFL colorcoding and is more for HTML than any other language I
think)And then Dave was kind enough to enable ConTEXT to do the color
coding...soI am trying that out. (It's also free, claims to do the regular
expressionsearches, but, so far I haven't seen a file-compare
utility)And now dingo enables AFL color coding for TextPad...I used it
a couple ofyears ago and liked it a lot, but it was not free ($27 I
believe) and when Iupgraded computers and asked to move my license, they
found no record of mypurchase...So what editor do you all like and
why?And will it do: file
comparing regular-expression search/replace across
files AFL color
coding?thanks-john
