i love nano....you?
I'd say this is a rather one-sided poll. Where's notepad, CoolEdit, TextPad, and DOS Edit????? How about original Vi (screw this Vi Improved crap)....
I think the original 3 are my favourites. Notepad, Edit and Vi. If you can work those three you are pretty much guarenteed to be able to edit files on any system. I suppose you'll find some of the more modern systems that don't have vi or vim on it, but those are few and far between. As far as added funcationality goes, nothing beats TextPad..... I'd let it have my children, or if it's male... I'd have surgery so I could have it's children. It's gorgeous software.
Peace,

My vote goes to vi. I've only been using it for a week (ever since I started using Linux) but I really like the control it gives you. At first it seemed awkward and un-user-friendly but once I got the hang of some of the commands it was just so easy to use and move around after that!

CrapPAD! I also have a text editor made in VB called toilet paper & pencil.
I can't believe nedit isn't there, it's a great text editor. Before that I used either Kate (GUI) or pic (CLI) and on Windows I've used Notepad, Arachnophilia and 1st Page 2000 to name but a few.
notepad.exe, vi and ultra-edit or some other hexeditor...

Just jokeing around? If not then I will be happy to show everyone how to make their own text editors similiar to the one I have just shown a few days ago in this thread. Which one though? The one in this thread or something in VB?
The tutorials forum could use another VB tutorial :DQuote:

Just noticed 1stPage2000 mentioned up there. Seems my copy got whacked with some virus in a button folder module called "six buttons from hell...", a trojan that i can't remember it's name. So, i thought it must have got whacked sometime when i was reloading the box and hadn't reloaded my AV program, so deleted the whole file folder since McAfee couldn't delete or quarantine the virus. So, went on back up to Evrsoft and downloaded a fresh copy. Guess what? Yeah, the same trojan in the same six buttons from hell. :( Just thought i'd mention that in case you have a copy. Been awhile. Good to see y'all again. :) Regards.
That's strange, I've used 1st Page 2000 since it came out (although I don't bother much anymore) and it's always been fine for me wherever I've downloaded it from. I did hear rumours of a trojan implemented in the official download a while ago though.
I have also used first page 2000 for quite a while... the six buttons from hell trojan is reported by most virus scanners as JS trojan windowbomb - it's not actually a trojan but its a joke javascript that open up loads of windows.
Don't forget that the authors of FP2000 are/were students - the inclusion of the JS was seen as funny.... it's not anything to worry about as such but if you're really worried by it just delet the template - it's not needed by the main program at all

When the Trojan runs, it opens a Web browser window and displays six buttons and the following text:
Six buttons from hell Clicking on any of these buttons will really cause you pain...Buttons [Everything in herer will KILL your browser.
If you click any of the buttons, it goes into an endless loop, and repeatedly displays the same message. There is no harmful payload.
Ahh, you see I never used anything other than the text editor facilities, so I would never have come across any problems with the included JavaScripts. :)
no I never used any of the javascript functions either - the only reason I found out is because I was doing a full virus scan of the HDD about 18mnths-2years ago and it flashed up. Like you pwaring I don't use first page any more as my main editor (for no particular reason) but it's still quite a nice HTML editor IMHO.

I am a bad person. I use Front Page.
Thanks ZW for the info and link, a very good answer. Yes, i knew the authors are/were students, very clever ones i might add as i always liked 1p2G, even over the expensive offerings out there. When they started the new (not yet out) version they asked if we'd be willing to buy (vs. free) an improved version. Most of us replied in the affirmative. Must have changed crews since then, or key people graduated and went on to other things because the next version is still on the stove somewhere. They also got into a testy discussion with someone over the name which i for one thought was nothing short of blackmail because the "name" was not even close to the product of whoever was using the synonym as i recall looking them up.Quote:

If they get back to the project, and put out their "new & improved" version i'll definitely buy a copy just to help them pay their tuition for work they did in years past, it's a good piece.
In the meanwhile i've deleted that part of the program and will use it, notepad, and the html editor that comes with Mozilla 1.6... just five bucks for the disk in snailmail, or free as a download. The t-shirt isn't too bad either. :)
Thanks again.
if you guys are into trying new editors. this is my personel fav for coding:
http://fixedsys.com/context/download.html
its got syntax highlighting for just about every language you can think of both programming and spoken and a bunch of other features. its free.
but as far as just plain text editors go ill take notepad, pico or joe
I think you all got the Windows ones covered. But on linux, what about Kwrite? It highlights and arranges your code based on which form of coding you choose, on the fly man ON THE FLY! I just like how freaking organized it makes code. As for terminals, vi and pico all the way. Emacs can go suck a lemon.
nano, because I never saw the need to use key combinations just to tell the *editor* I wanted to *edit* a file. If I wanted to view it in read only mode I would use cat/more/less.
nano, the notepad.exe for nix.
Which brings me to another point. My 2nd favorite text editor is wine notepad.exe
I would go for any text editor that allows you to save the files by pressing CTRL+S and saves in text only format by default..does any1 know of one such thing?
i think i heard of one once ali! notebook..ahh..notice....ahh...maxipad...dont tell me ill get it...think i got it around here some place...
nedit does that, at least on Red Hat 9 anyway.Quote:
