Text Editor with Advanced and Flexible Search and Replace EditPad™ Pro's Search and Replace
Makes Text Editing More Convenient EditPad Pro 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. Automate much tedious editing with clever use of EditPad Pro's search-and-replace. - The search pane sits docked below the editing area, rather than floating on top and partly obscuring it.
- Enter any amount of text in the search and replace boxes. You are not limited to just one line.
- Search forward or backward, from the current text cursor position or the start/end of the file.
- Find specific matches, such as the 13th match from the start of the file, or the 4th match before the text cursor, etc. Find the first match in the next file or the last match in the previous file.
- Search or search-and-replace through the current file only, the current selection only, all files in the current project, or all files in all open projects.
- Control which matches are replaced using the Search, Replace and Replace&Search Next toolbar buttons or corresponding keyboard shortcuts. No annoying pop-up prompts asking if you want to replace.
- Use regular expressions to make complex replacements that you'd need to do manually otherwise. Use backreferences in the replacement text to reuse part or all of the search match in the replacement.
- Instant Search finds the next or previous occurrence of the word under the text cursor, without opening the search pane or altering the search term in the search pane.
- Incremental Search finds the next occurrence of the search term as you type in the search term, and backs up if you press backspace to delete the search term.
- Highlight search matches to keep them in view, even as you edit the file.
- Fold lines without search matches under lines that do match, leaving only matching lines visible. Matches can be highlighted while lines are folded.
- Get assistance from RegexBuddy to easily create regular expressions.
- All of EditPad Pro's search-and-replace features, except line folding, are available in hexadecimal mode too.
- Repeat any of the last 16 searches via the Search History.
- Add any number of search terms or regular expressions to the Search Favorites.
- Keep track of how many matches were found thus far with a permanent indicator on the status bar.

"I love your software. It works great and I like having tools written by people who actually freakin understand regular expressions. A lot of editors pretend to do regex and make a mess of it."

  | EditPad Pro’s search pane works just as well in hexadecimal mode |
"From time to time I've tried other text editors that promised to be the cure for all my ills but none of them ever held a candle to your extremely well written, versatile, DEPENDABLE and efficient product called EditPad Pro. Heck, the search and replace and go to line numbers are worth their weight in gold." -- Jim Melanson, Perl Services 25 March 2002, Ontario, Canada |
