There are so many ways to edit text that finding the right tool for the right job can be an absolute nightmare.

Fortunately, every so often a tool comes along that's the right tool for just about every job. In the world of text editors, the name of this tool is EditPad Pro. Not only does it drop a lot of those extraneous features that no one ever needs, but it also delivers new features that you won't find in other code editors, text editors, and word processing apps.

In other words, everything you need, and nothing you don't!

EditPad Pro brings a new level of organization to text editing. You can open as many documents as you via the Über-handy tabbed interface, and accordingly, you can jump back and forth between open documents quickly and easily. You can organize groups of documents into projects -- opening a project instantly opens all of its associated documents in tabs, and many editing functions can be applied project-wide to multiple files.

Of particular usefulness is EditPad Pro's ability to automatically recognize different file types and enable appropriate sets of support features. For example, EditPad Pro automatically enables coding features that help you edit source code, such as syntax highlighting, line numbering, and indentation. But open up a letter or memo, and EditPad Pro instantly adjusts to your needs, loading a new set of features offering you word wrap and font options. EditPad Pro strikes the perfect balance between programming tasks and other text editing needs. It recognizes HTML, XML, CSS, and Javascript, as well as a number of other source code syntaxes!

Many core functions of text editors are here in EditPad Pro, only supersized. Search and replace text in multiple files easily, and never make mistakes thanks to the built-in spell checker with support for multiple languages and instant-highlighting of your grievous errors. There's a macro function, to save your poor fingers from repetitive typing, syntax highlighting, and auto-text, so you can insert entire blocks of text into your document with just a few keystrokes.

EditPad Pro comes with some surprising features not found in other text editors. Stuff like a built-in FTP client and the ability to compare two text files for differences (helpful for coders!). Access special characters just by double-clicking on them, so you can finally throw away that old wrinkled notebook page of ASCII codes.

Best of all, EditPad Pro can read any text file from any system, and will always preserve the file's compatibility with that system unless you specifically convert it.
