![]() UltraEdit and Vim are the only other two text editors out there that can handle extremely large text files (not that you asked). Crimson also handles loading 200MB+ log files pretty well - most editors choke after 30-50MB. It's a really good editor as long as you don't need non-ASCII character encodings - it'll do UTF-8 but only if you coax it - and, IMO, beats Notepad++ on all the core areas of text editing that matter even though it is pretty old software at this point. ![]() I still use Crimson Editor (the 2004 version, not the mostly broken Emerald Editor version). When you need to find text in a text file on Windows, I recommend installing and using a real text editor. WordPad, which also comes with Windows, is even more useless as a text editor for a variety of reasons - unless you need to create RTF files for some odd purpose. Notepad is very light on system resources and has the fastest startup time of any Windows text editor I've ever used but that's probably because it is near useless. I only use it when I am writing short batch files (because cmd.exe doesn't like UNIX line endings) or need a very quick scratch pad to jot some brief notes that I don't mind losing in the event of a power outage. Is Notepad's "Find" function completely useless or am I missing something? ![]()
