Notepad++ also features an excellent search and replace tool which is extremely versatile, powerful and useful. On the coding side of things, NotePad can recognize virtually any type of popular programming language and makes it easier to edit files because of syntax highlighting, something we found useful when working with HTML documents and creating code in PHP. Each line of text is numbered while hitting the CTRL key along with scrolling with the mouse wheel allows you to zoom into text. Comparing text between different documents is therefore a simple job and done easily by switching between tabs. Notepad++ features a tabbed layout, which makes it ideal for working with multiple open files at the same time. It is excellent for both writing text and editing different types of code such as HTML, PHP or C.

Notepad++ is an excellent text and code editor which is distributed completely free of charge both as freeware and as an open source product. A feature-rich text editor application that supports not only plaintext, but a number of programming languages which can act as a Notepad replacement for Windows.
