Ninjakreborn Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I had notepad, my dad installed something he found a long time ago (he came to visit and put it on the computer, which is fine), it's called "Edit Pad". I don't mind, it does everything it should, but it won't let me send stuff through msn, even though it's a text file with a .txt extension. The editpad is made to overwrite all notepad pages without touching them, it just opens them up on your computer in notepad, while still leaving it a txt file so other people can still open it. Is there an alternative way to get this to send through msn, it sends through email just fine. However I sometimes need to send people something quick, or should I uninstall it. I am not looking for something that has advanced specialties, I already have a coding/programming text editor that I work with just fine. I want one for general use, but more powerful that notepad. For instance if I use notepad 2, or something else, will it still be a .txt extension. Does anyone have any advice on something different, maybe something I haven't heard of before.

Ninjakreborn Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 Text pad, what is the different in it and notepad 2 and edit pad.I will definitely have a look at that. Is it what you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I use notepad for a lot of stuff. I haven't used the other two, so I can't really give my opinion or the differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjakreborn Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 Notepad,I thought your favorite was text pad, you probably meant textpad instead of note pad, thanks for the advice, this week, I am going to download and install text pad and see how it goes.

ober Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 ahhh... sorry, I meant textpad. I got my fingers crossed. You should check out their website for all kinds of syntax highlighters and stuff too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbullmarky Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 i more than anyone HATE bandwagons, but the best i've ever found is Textmate on the Mac.Grrrr that they dont do a PC version. It has this mad little function where you start typing (for example) 'function' or 'class' and hit the tab key, and voila - an ENTIRE skeleton of a function or class is created. further presses of the tab key skip through all the bits you'd probably want to change (like the name, parameters, etc. also just simple things - like you type a ( or a { or a [ and the close bracket is put in immediately and your cursor jumps right into the middle.seriously, i played with that thing for a good few hours and the only thing that puts me off is the fact that i like to get used to a certain way of working, whether it be on my mac or on my PC. If there was a PC equivalent, it'd be bye bye notepad, bye bye dreamweaver.But there isn't. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjakreborn Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 Shit, you are right there are no versions of textmate for pc, I looked everywhere?They are working on one, based on a couple of bulliten boards and blogs I saw, hopefully they do, that looks very good.
