@Bruce Baxter,

>..., if you find something missing in notepad++ just use a plugin
Where is the Notepad++ plugin that does all of the functions that Text Edit Plus has builtin?

Also, I have never found a Notepad++ plugin that allows me to have a multi-line search and replace box like EditPlus has, and WeBuilder.

I would not say that Text Edit Plus is superior to all other editors, but I do applaud the developer for creating some very useful tools builtin.

I do use Notepad++, and I am always checking on Plugins and their updates, but I have yet to see the multi-line Find, Search+Replace box feature. I have not limited myself to using the PluginsManager either, and I have come across some excellent Plugins that way, but not what I have been looking for.

I'm not looking for alternative ways of doing the same things like with Regular Expressions; I'm looking for the same as EditPlus has.

Based on your expertise, where are these plugins hidden? From what you say they must exist, but I must not be as smart as you are. Can you help us dummies out? ... please?

Nice features. please include undo button.

Lots of cool text manipulation functionality, that I usually need to go to Excel or code myself to be able to do.

Thanks for the great work to the developers.

I am always on the lookout for a good text Editor. I use different editors for different purposes. I got HippoEdit from here and find it a great editor for programs and scripting but horrible for certain things like notes. I use EditPad Lite for that. BTW, to the person who thought HippoEdit was the first text editor given away here you are wrong. Years before they gave away GridinSoft Text Editor which they don't even offer any more if you look at their site. It was actually a very good editor and I still use it sometimes.

With All that said I just gave this a try and it feels like a souped up version of NotePad that comes with windows. No tabs, no working on multiple documents at once. That to me is enough to probably just remove it. Sorry to the developer I really do like trying new programs. Yours just leaves me wanting it to feel more modern. Simplicity however will be great for many and I hope some users will find and love the freebie. Thanks for the offer.

Well at least it is not another giveaway in the genre of video converter, 1click optimise, driver booster, data recovery, etc....
I have been using Editpad Lite.
Would be good if GOTD gave the Editpad Pro software.
This Text Edit Plus 4.2 was easily installed and activated.
Tested it in use.
**It has a fatal error as a PAID text editor software $9.99. It lacks Spell Check. **
It has some text tools like word frequency analysis.
Some strange stuff is thrown in.
Like endcode, decode, keypress simulator, cipher, import picture as text, etc.
Guess the programmer wanted to throw in the kitchen sink.
Rating: 2 out of 5 stars.
Far below the rank of Editpad Pro.

This companies authorization will never work, I guess because they want you to pay only!!!!

Several interesting ways to manipulate text, but there are far too many dislikes, such as:
'Undo' limited to only the simplest copy or delete, not on any more complicated actions under Text of Tools menu.
Upper/Lower case ignores accented characters!
Many of the actions work on the entire file rather than on the selected portion.
Pity, even at version 4.2 not really ready for prime time.

Something strange:
I did type a text and encode it.
And I decoded it; there are some strange letters:

Text file encode with gotd: https://ootjegotd.stackstorage.com/s/jsJXfczQxd6WMbU
and the decoded one: https://ootjegotd.stackstorage.com/s/crpjAp8NlSSky2L

Also the date and time was only inserted at the end. Not at the cursor.
Just one ASCII-figure at the time.
"Delete same lines" means delete ALL the lines that are the same in the whole text. Not just next to each-other.
"Generate e-mail list" Pity I did not have that 3 months earlier. It worked just fine, result is alphabetic.

Did anyone one read the license agreement?
here is excerpt of it, which doesnt not clearly states on what data being send to the company?!

I wish commenters would not feel it necessary to post just to offer their "better" FREE option. I understand that sometimes this is offered purely as a helpful suggestion. But I am annoyed by those who seem to post just to demonstrate that they are wiser and more experienced than the rest of us. Comments are much more useful when they describe weaknesses and strengths of the offered program.

All you need is Notepad++, it's FREE, lightweight, has lot's of plugins and feature more than this one, and can be portable on a USB.

From the video it looks like a very nice program.

HOWEVER, when I import a WordPad document, it is just gooble-d-gook.

For once something that has nothing to do with recovering data, videos and photos, or `cleaning' and speeding the computer.
It is excellent, wonderful. For anyone interested, I tested and it also works for RTL languages in the same (admittedly limited) way that notepad does.
Unlike Notepad++ I can understand how to use it.
Thank you GAOTD and developer.

Flawless Installation....the key worked..no issues...using a win7 pro 64 bit.

The Setup program does not execute. Double click it and it never comes back!

Excellent text editor which I've been pleased to add to my computer. For very many years I've used a fine little program called EditPlus and this is very very similar in almost all respects so am glad to have both now available.
Program extracted without any bother and Serial Number entered just as explained in the text file included in the ZIP. A fine little GOTD.

There are too many better free text editors. For example PilotEdit, EditPad Lite, Notepad++ etc.

Fantastic! Fast, clean, not bloated, plenty features. I'm using to prepare text to copy/paste into Facebook, Messaging, quick notes, fast lists, - just great.

Also, the fastest and simplest install and registration ever! Price is equitable.

Activation failed !

please help me !!

license key not working.

- kiran

Downloaded program; installed and licence key worked. Options to change background colour and change font. Date and time inserted in European style, DD/MM/YYYY.

why anyone would want to be tied to a paid for notepad program when the excellent Notepad++ is free is beyond me
