Text Editor

- I like being able to edit large text files (1/2GB) with
good
performance.  
- Syntax highlighting is available for net.data via a free
add-on.

e=Content&pa=showpage&pid=40
- Column mode has been handy.  
- Ditto converting EBCDIC -- ASCII and Unix -- DOS.  Nice
for files that
get LF but no CR at the end of the lines.
- Hex view/edit.

Hi Tom,

	The most important feature of UE to me is it's 'Column
Mode'
which allows selection, cut, copy, and paste of columns. 
Very handy
when having to massage data for transfer to the system. 
That's not all
it does - but that's the biggie for me.

Can anybody suggest some of the more useful features of
UE-32? I didn't
see anything significant that wasn't in the freeware
version of NotePad,
but there's no way I saw everything nor grasped everything
I saw.

And, it can decipher EBCDIC!  Who else but a bunch of OS/400
geeks would 
want that?

Mainframers.

There is also a VERY good file viewer I highly recommend at
www.fileviewer.com and while it isn't free, it is close
enough and worth
much more than its nominal cost.  It also does EBCDIC and
lets you set
arbitrary record lengths (for when viewing undelimited
EBCDIC data, for
example), lets you override the EBCDIC to ASCII translation,
setup grid
lines based on the file, perform regex searches (across
multiple files) and
more options than you'd believe for a file viewer.

My favorite text editor (bar none) at least for program code
is Codewright.
But it isn't exactly freeware.  

I haven't upgraded it since version 6.5 and it looks like
it has another new
owner and belongs to Borland now and is up to version 7.5. 
But if this
editor doesn't do it, you probably don't need it.  Or if
you do, you just
extend it yourself using any of serveral macros languages
(simple API
sequences like a batch file, or more complex logic in Perl,
Basic, or C).
In fact, CodeWright is the engine Paul Conte used for the
Windows version of
Flex/Edit, although that was using older versions of the
engine.

To keep in on-topic to the subject though, you not only have
the cursor
row/col in the status bar, but you can turn on a ruler on
the top of a
window with a shadow cursor to show the current position.

Add to that the built in FTP client, which deals very nicely
with the iSeries.
