Here are some key features of „EditPad Lite“:

· EditPad Lite has a lot of functionality that makes editing text files more convenient for you. A lot of this does not sound very impressive or even works behind the scenes, but you will surely appreciate it when you need it. These are only a small number of EditPad Lite’s many little features that make heavy text editing a breeze.

· With EditPad Lite you can easily open and edit many text files at the same time. There’s no limit. Many of EditPad Lite’s editing commands can work on all files in a given project at once. Quickly switch between files and projects by clicking on their tabs. Move back and forth with the handy „previous editing position“ and „previously edited file“ commands.

· EditPad Lite sports one of the most extensive search-and-replace features of any text editor. Quickly find the part of the file you want to edit. Highlight matches, fold lines, and skip over matches and files. Instantly make many replacements throughout a (rectangular) selection, a file, or all open files. Use regular expressions and adaptive case options for powerful and dynamic search terms and replacements. Clever use of EditPad Lite’s search-and-replace can automate much tedious editing.

· EditPad Lite’s Clip Collection makes it easy to keep a list of text snippets at your fingertips, ready to be inserted into the file’s you’re editing. Such a snippet can be a word, phrase, three paragraphs, half a book, or anything you want. Clips can consist of „before“ and „after“ parts to be inserted around a selection.

· Don’t worry about saving files with EditPad Lite extensive auto-save and backup options. Choose how many backup copies you want to keep and/or for how long. The File History shows you the backup copies for the current file. You can easily open and compare backups, as well as save specific milestone copies. EditPad Lite’s unlimited undo and redo even allows you to undo changes after saving them.

· Easily edit all kinds of lists with handy commands to sort lines alphabetically and delete duplicate lines. Use these commands with rectangular selections to sort and trim lists of multiple columns on one of the columns.

· EditPad Lite will highlight URLs (web site addresses) and email addresses in your text files. You can easily open the web site by double-clicking the URL in EditPad Lite. Of course, you can always turn this option off.

· If you need to type in some special characters not available on your keyboard, you can use EditPad Lite’s character map to quickly insert them by double-clicking on them. Easily insert special symbols like the trademark or copyright symbol into your documents, or enter letters from a foreign script that your keyboard does not support. If you save your files as Unicode files, you can use any character known to humanity.

· EditPad Lite edits all text files. Open text files saved on Linux, UNIX and Macintosh computers, or even text files from old DOS PCs or IBM mainframes. EditPad Lite preserves the file’s compatibility with those systems, unless you explicitly convert it. You’ll never have to worry about being unable to open a text file, and you’ll always be able to save your files in a format that people with less flexible text editors can read. EditPad Lite handles DOS/Windows, UNIX/Linux and Macintosh line breaks. Open and save text files encoded in Unicode (UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32), any Windows code page, any ISO-8859 code page, and a variety of DOS, KOI8 and EBCDIC code pages. Convert files between any of these encodings.

What’s New in This Release:
Bug fixes:
· Opening files on UNC paths via the command line or via Windows Explorer failed in version 7.0.5 because EditPad 7.0.5 interpreted UNC paths incorrectly.
· View|Browser: If the default browser did not use DDE, the View|Browser command executed the file to be viewed rather than executing the browser and passing it the file to be viewed.
