Cyber Axe Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 ive been looking up notepad alternatives but all of them seem to be way over featured personally i'd rather have one thats is practically the same as notepad but has better search and replace and maybe support for unix txt's though the latter isnt as importantanyone know of any such notepad alternatives?

Nologic Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Well then I guess you'll have to write your own application...and I really don't see or understand your dislike of these app's...your hang up I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
os2fan2 Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 metapad is pretty much the same size as notepad, and allows you to load things like unicode, unix, etc. It also allows you to change the format of the saved document.it comes in two forms (normal = uses richedit library) vs (le = uses "edit" control).One needs to remember that the small ones wrapped around windows functionality also are restructed to what riched and comctl are prepared to allow. On the other hand, the bigger ones load their own editor window, and pretty much do what they use.I use in part metapad, and in part tse v 4,0 to do text exiting.W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredledingue Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Yes Metapad is the closest to Notepad. I have tested a dozen of notepad replacements and Metapad and Notepad2 are what you are exactely what asking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 I prefer Notepad++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredledingue Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 No Notepad++ is an excellent script/htlm/software editor but it's too advanced, too complicated for a Notepad replacement.I use Notepad++ everday but not as a notepad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
