Here is a real good one, EditPad Pro.

I must remember to remember what it was I had to remember.

Notetab Light. One of the best freewares around.

I use Metapad - haven't really used a lot of them, but I prefer it over Notepad.

I like Programmer's File Editor (PFE). It's no longer under development, but I find it powerful and easy to use.

And, finally ;), there is UltraEdit32.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.

Edit Pad Lite is free, and handles everything I've tried. Why pay for a text editor when a free one will do the job nicely.

gVim, esp. if you add Dodger's Poser Syntax checker.

It's essentially Unix Vi but with a GUI so you don't have to learn every arcane command to use as a normal editor. But the full power of Vi is there - including scripting - whenever you need it. And FAST! It loads multi-MB files instantly.

And Dodger's Poser syntax script poser.vim) displays all Poser syntax color coded. And a similar feature for Python is built in.

Price is right too - $0.00.

I love Textpad, personally. It's only $16.50 and you can try before you buy. It has things like bookmarks and line numbers so it's really useful for me.

Blimey! So many text editors! If you need one which can load and save *compressed* Poser content files, and has Poser Syntax highlighting and a feature to jump to a particular section of the file, you could look at Zpad? H:))

I just use notepad :)

Notepad is very limited. It can't always handle the size of the files I want to use. Plus, Notepad doesn't like to use different file extensions. EditPad Lite will load anything you give it.

One thing editpadlite or pro cannot handle is compressed files. If you are doing a lot of compressed file editing the zpad probably is the best because it can read them.

I must remember to remember what it was I had to remember.
