I mostly use it to view HTML \& Javascript code, but its true value is in its macro support. You can easily create automatic scripts to alter your files and save them for later use. > > **Cons**: GUI of this software looks old and needs modern UI. Also, if we compare it with its alternatives like Notepad++ in the market, then features are lesser than others. However, it's an excellent replacement of Notepad. ----- ### "Great and Simple IDE" — 5.0/5 > **Rick** | *April 21, 2023* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I am able to open multiple files of varying types at one for comparison, also, I can save "Workspaces" that allows me to re-open all the same files at a later time. Excellent, easy to use product that did not cost much to license. > > **Cons**: I have not found anything to not like about TextPad. > > I have used TextPad for years to create Java classes for various projects that involve Actuate's (now OPenText) erdPro. ----- ### "Text Editor from TextPad" — 4.0/5 > **Anil** | *June 18, 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: You can easily use this software, however it offers less feature than its competitors. > > **Cons**: TextPad is old fashion, old dashboard editor that you can use in the past. There are other kind of editor that you can use. > > I used Textpad many years ago to edit my code and lines, but I changed it because it does not offer any good features. ----- ### "Best Editor For large size files - TextPad" — 5.0/5 > **Sakshi** | *October 7, 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best thing that I personally liked about TextPad is it's feasible to open very large sized files (gb) using TextPad. It provides more features than notepad and notepad++ We can easily do coding in any language (HTML, XML, JSON,YML) and it highlights the code which I like the most. > > **Cons**: Only the thing which I don't like about TextPad is it's appearance, I like to work in dark mode on daily basis, so if TextPad can provide me dark mode feature than it would be great. Otherwise I don't have any reason for not using TextPad. > > I use this software daily to open and edit large sized log files, it helps me alot to accomplish my daily tasks. Sometimes I use TextPad for comparing two files, also I am able to find and replace a particular word in a file without much efforts. Thankyou TextPad\!\! Best Editor tool.... ----- ### "Greattext editor" — 5.0/5 > **Arun** | *November 12, 2022* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very light weight,easy to navigate. Can handle multiple file types and syntax file configuration is quite easy > > **Cons**: I don't have an option to open very large files in parts > > Great tool, it will be good if more functionalities are added like ability to open very large files ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1016875/textpad?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1016875/textpad) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
