Advantages: Easy to use and free

Disadvantages: Maybe the support isn't as good as software you pay for

TextPad is a fantastic and easy to use text editor, that makes life alot easier if you have to work with plain text files on a regular basis.

I first discovered TextPad back in 2002 when I was working on a project at work that required me to concatenate files together. This makes the task very easy indeed. I also needed to select lines that contained certain text. TextPad highlights all lines that contain the text you entered with small arrows to the left hand side of the screen.

TextPad is also useful if you need to order a text file in a certain way, because it has a sort feature that allows you to sort lines in alphabetical order from any given starting position on the line.

The version of TextPad that we use at work is totally free, but you are only allowed to install it on a few machines.

To sum up, this software is well worth downloading, especially if like me, you are a developer that needs to manipulate text files.

Summary: Well worth installing if you need this sort of tool
