Notepad++ is a free source code editor (and Notepad replacement), which supports several programming languages, running under the MS Windows environment. This project, based on the Scintilla edit component (a very powerful editor component), written in C++ with pure win32 api and STL (that ensures the higher execution speed and smaller size of the program), is under the GPL Licence.

Outstanding ELITE and thanks

Good Stuff... thanks Elite

Thanks! I love notepad++!

I used to swear by UltraEdit until I gave this a try. Thanks for the update.

Downloaded! Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for the heads up.

Has the autoupdater ever worked for anyone?

The Ruby Blue styler is nice and I'd use it more if it had syntax highlighting for more than 4 languages. The Vibrant Ink styler has all of them set, so I don't have to go in there as set them for each language I want the highlighting for.

Sweet... Thanks!!!

Here are some TextMate clones for Windows:
InType - free (in early development stages but it promises a lot and already has a lot of features)
e - texteditor - commercial (supports TextMate bundles)

A sure keeper, but doesn't open fast enough on a 3800+ to be a notepad replacement. = (

<3's Notepads less then half a second starts.

Try Notedpad2. I use it as a notepad replacement... just as fast to load. It has fewer features than Notepad++ but many more than the regular notepad.

Never worked here, and the option to check for updates crashes (under vista) as it requires the app to be ran with admin credentials, something I don't want to do for two reasons, first being it shouldn't need admin privileges and second i would have to click through the UAC dialogue every time I run it And no I don't want to disable UAC on my system

That said however, this is a brilliant app.

At least for a old version, update worked.
