ZenCoder Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I prefer Perl style regular expressions.My favorite editor for monkeying with text is UltraEdit 12.10a.However when I try complex Perl Regular Expressions on large text files UltraEdit gets all buggy.Not only does my regular expressions not work as desired, when I undue the replace operation multiple lines disappear and others are slightly garbled. Then Ultra Edit usually ends up crashing.I am not 100% sure my syntax was correct, but thats no excuse for corrupting the file when undoing the operation and or crashing the program.Its other two Regular Expression options work fine.

jftuga Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 There is a version of Vim for Windows called Gvim. REs work great inside of vVm. Version 7 has tabbed-windows and spell checking. Vim has a steep learning curve, however.http://www.vim.org/http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/vimannounce/message/161-John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
