I haven't ventured into Energyplus IDF file editing but for DOE2.1e and
DOE2.2, UltraEdit works great. <br><br>
UltraEdit includes:<br>
Syntax highlighting for programming languages not build included is very
easy to add - edit a text file. <br>
Side by side file compare, file merge etc.<br>
Text fold/unfold<br>
Save Copy As<br>
Rectangular selection and column summing - this is handy when examining
the results files.<br><br>
In addition UltraEdit has a fairly decent macro programming feature
including Record Keystrokes which is very handy for extracting sections
from the results files and copying them into another file.<br><br>
One nice feature of UltraEdit is the ability to define Projects - a group
of files that are to be opened together. <br><br>
Also, you can run dos commands/programs - handy for command line
compiling. I use it for running DOE2 when debugging an input
file. You can also call Windows programs but I haven't had a need
to do that as yet. <br><br>
I have been using UltraEdit since 1996 - it replaced the dos based editor
I had been using, "Brief", a Borland product. I still use
the Brief keystroke commands - UltraEdit allows you to redefine the
keystroke commands. <br><div><div class="h5"><br>

It might be useful for some of us who gets annoyed with notepad.<br><br>
I did a quick comparison of three text editors: TextPad 6.1.3, Notepad++
6.1.5 and relatively new Sublime 2.1.<br><br>
I have selected several features, some of which I found very useful,
others somehow useful.<br><br>
<b>E.g. very useful: </b>
<ul>
<li>Syntax highlighting,
</li><li>Side by side file compare (someone may know this feature from Total
Commander),
</li><li>Text fold/unfold(collapse/uncollapse)
</li></ul><br>
<b>Somehow useful: </b>
<ul>
<li>Save Copy As ... ,
</li><li>Rectangular selection (used to be in the stone age qedit)
</li></ul><br>
A picture in the attachment shows the results of this
comparison.<br><br>
In brief, NONE of these editors can claim having MORE THAN ONE useful
feature! <br><br>
Your comments and personal experience are very welcome.<br><br>
<br>
Thanks,<br><br>
