TextPad is a popular text editor for the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems.
First released in 1992, this software is currently in its fourth major version. It is produced by Helios Software Solutions.
Key features include:
- the ability to maintain block indents
- automatic code indentation (see indent style)
- regular expression based search and replace, including multiline regex
- Macro recording feature to facilitate complex text transformations and data processing.
- Macro feature supports multiple regex searches (and replacements) within a macro
- syntax highlighting (extendable to many different languages)
- ability to call external programs (such as compilers)
- large file support
- support for editing multiple files, with tabbed document selection
- block select mode
- synchronized scrolling of multiple files
- clip libraries - snippet management for reusable portions of text to insert into documents
Their more recent program WildEdit is an interactive tool for power users to make the same changes to a set of text files in a folder hierarchy.
Full-featured trial versions of TextPad and WildEdit are available for evaluation, but neither program is shareware.
The Clip Library
The Clip Library is a TextPad sidebar that allows users to input small elements of ASCII instantly, by double clicking clip names in the sidebar.
Future of TextPad
Appears to be abandoned, no news about any next releases for two and a half years, no response from developer on forum.
