Extensive Collection of Advanced and Exclusive Features
More advanced features that you won't find in most other text editors include a useful File Tree View, configurable syntax highlighting (pre-configured for C/C++, VB, HTML, Java, and Perl), a built-in Hexadecimal Editor (allows editing of binary files), file sorting (with ascending, descending, remove duplicate, and ignore case options), UNIX/MAC file conversions (to and from DOS), a Favorite Files list that can store up to 200 user-selected files, multi-level undo and redo, drag and drop editing, an option for viewing the current file in your default browser, and IntelliMouse scrolling support.
Where UltraEdit really shines is in its collection of unique features that are not shared by the competing TextPad. These include menu tabs for quickly switching between open documents (added to TextPad as of v4.0), projects/workspaces for simplified maintenance of large groups of documents, column/block mode editing, named templates, options for saving files to and opening files from FTP sites, and a 'Replace in Files' feature that allows you to conduct find and replace operations on multiple files (including all files in a directory or directories). The Replace in Files command in particular is a feature sorely missing in TextPad.
