Edit Description
Edit is a small, Java-built program that allows you to create and modify any kind of texts, then save them as local files. The tool is suitable for editing programming scripts and allows to create several types of source code files from scratch.
Open several types of files
By default, Edit assigns incremental numbers to each new line in the document you open or create. Each line is numbered whether it is an empty row. The program supports opening text documents, as well as Assembly files (*.asm), batch (*.bat), C, C++, C# (*.c, *.cpp, *.cs), cascading style sheets (*.css) and document type definition files (*.dtd).
Similar to Notepad, Edit can open virtually any type of file, but it can only read the above-mentioned formats. The application features a multitude of functions that can facilitate the text editing and increase your work speed.
Convenient text editing functions
Edit allows you to automatically select fragments of text framed by curly brackets. You need to simply place the caret before the opened bracket and view how the entire segment is instantly selected.
Other useful functions include case converters that allow you to transform all the selected characters to upper or lower case. You can also indent or unindent the selected lines, plus find and replace entire words or strings.
The program also enables you to match the letter case or the start/end lines, as well as set the behavior when the end of the line is reached. The row can end with Return, Newline or both.
Simple installation and GUI customization
Edit requires that you have Java on your computer and must be installed in the same folder as the prerequisite tool. You may customize its interface by specifying the maximum number of tabs to be simultaneously opened or display/hide the line numbers. The line wrap can be set for characters or words and you can choose to print pages with or without header/footer.
