Hey,

 

I'm looking for a freeware notepad where all it does besides the normal "Notepad.exe" functions is highlight strings ie, stuff in between quotation marks.

 

 

 

It would be ever so super-nifty if one of you blokes would point me in the right direction so as to allow me to continue working on my project. 

 

It's a Sonique 2 skin.  Sonique 2 is rad, but it crashes my computer so I have a hard time figuring out if its my skins code that's messing it up or if its just my flaky computer running at 2% resources while sonique is open.  No joke. 2%.  The notepad would help a lot.

 

 

 

Anyhoo, that would be fantastic.

You could use Quincy 2002.

It's intended to create programs in C & C++, but of course, it's just a text editor and you can save as .txt files.

 

Here's my CompSci teacher's page:

You can find links there, as well as instructions.

I use crimson editor as a notepad substitute. It supports heaps of languages, and I personally think it's got a nice interface. http://www.crimsoneditor.com/

That looks funky - will play later.

I work with CodeGenie, it's AWSOME and it also recognizes different scripts so it can light script-specific words like "while", "do" and such.

 

It's awsome, and its simple.

that's the official homepage, check it out.

I like the gif for bloatware

But don't have much use for the code manipulation. Oracle sql is the only code I use.

word pad

Everyone forgot about EditPadLite

Try KWrite in Linux

Try EditPlus2

Pretty neat simple text editor. You can use it for writing programs (Perl, C/C++, Java) and it can handle 1 GB text file. Pretty amazing. Try to open 1GB txt file in word or wordpad... Whoa

try textpad. http://www.textpad.com . its really good. really simple. opens as quick as notepad. has compiler. can write java etc etc . download it .

radical guys, thanks

Try Ultraedit. That's what we use at work and it does just about anything.

my prof showed me a neat one today;

 

it's called emacs

 

haven't tried it myself, but indents accordingly, and yada yada depending on the type of characters, tags, etc. you put in

 

though it's a 50mb file

emacs is cool. I guess the version you're using is the equivalent of xemacs, since emacs is originally a text editor that runs under linux on a console.

Xemacs is a fork of emacs, not a graphical version of emacs. Emacs can be built with a complete graphical user interface too.

I stand corrected. (I don't use it myself)
