Ive been going through editing all of the .rc's in notepad for a long flippin time, but there has got to be a better way. What software do you all use to create your .rc's?
This is a section to submit code snippets, so be prepared to be moved muwahaha...
To answer the question, some good notepad replacements are UltraEdit32 (not free),
Notepad++ (free), and
EditPadLite (free).
I like Scite. its free too.
I like Vim. It's free, too.
Awesome. And i love having my threads moved, i feel special knowing im a dumbass. :)
Anyhow, thanks much for the replies all. I nabbed notepad++ last night but im definitely going to check out the other three as well. Again, i appreciate the quick responses.
how do those editors help editing a step.rc file specifically?
Well... it's harder to modify the text when you're using the "poke disk with magnetized paper clip" method.
I usually end up with multiple rc files open, so I guess the most helpful thing is having tabs.
I was looking for a good application to help me organize my 'thoughts' better than just having a bunch of unformatted text in notepad. ALL of the replacements recommended are great. I havent decided what im going to stick with, but they are all definitely a positive change.
jugg: Personally I like text highlighting
I appreciate all of the responses and suggestions. Ive decided that i really like Notepad ++. It has tabs (which im incredibly use to thanks to firefox), text highlighting, numbered lines (well, all have this) and yeah, i personally really like it.
Thanks again guys. You've made my litestep coding experience that much better. :)
