Softpedia Editor's Review for UltraEdit
|
Text, HEX, HTML, PHP and Programmer's Editor. Supports FTP/SFTP & UNICODE
Written by Elena Opris on November 24th, 2011
UltraEdit is an editor that supports text, HTML, PHP, XML, JavaScript, Perl, HEX, Java and other programming tools. Basically, you can use it for web developing, programming, or if you simply want to replace Notepad.
During installation, the software offers to install an additional component called UltraCompare Professional, but it does not need it to work properly.
When you first initialize it, you can configure programming, web developing and general file associations.
You are welcomed by a quick start guide which can show you how to perform various tasks in UltraEdit. This is ideal for novice users.
Although it's a program with a fairly small size, UltraEdit has a complex interface.
The main sections found here are File View (a tree structure in which you browse hard drives, CDs or FTP accounts for files), Open Files, Output Window, and Template List, while the side bar contains Clipboard History, Macro List, Script List, and XML Manager.
There are many, many features displayed in the menu bar, so you need some time to go through everything. If you do not know where to start, just use the help file.
UltraEdit has a column mode that changes the editor so you can select text, a class viewer, a resource editor and code folding.
Furthermore, it supports command line parameters, drag and drop files and text, but also has a PHP script debugger, and a spell checker while you write. You can brace match functionality, see the total number of lines which contain the find string, and more.
On top of everything else, UltraEdit uses a small amount of CPU and memory resources.
So, if you want the necessary software components of a web developer and programmer all rolled up into one, then take a look at UltraEdit. Its full price is more than fair.
