primexx Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Hey guys I'm looking for a free text editor that has features similar to that of Notepad++, especially in terms of its search and replace functionality, I need it to be able to handle things like \n and regex would be a bonus as well. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian M. Veteran Posted January 3, 2010 Veteran Share Posted January 3, 2010 It's not free, but IMO TextMate is by far the best editor on Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted January 3, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted January 3, 2010 TextWrangler could be what you want. And it's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidSolstice Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I'm curious. Why are you no longer able to use Notepad ++? EDIT: Shoot, my bad, did not realize this was the Apple support. Not my strong point, sorry :p. Clicked on this from the latest posts module up top. Good hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
