EditPad Lite is a freeware text editor app filed under text editors and made available by Just Great Software for Windows. The review for EditPad Lite has not been completed yet, but it was tested by an editor here on a PC and a list of features has been compiled; see below. May 11, 2018  EditPad Lite is a general-purpose text editor, designed to be small and compact, yet offer all the functionality you expect from a basic text editor.

EditPad Lite is a basic yet handy text editor for the Microsoft Windows platform. It has all the essential features for editing plain text files, including a complete set of search-and-replace features using a powerful regular expression engine.

EditPad Lite’s Regular Expression Support

EditPad Lite doesn’t use a limited and outdated regular expression engine like so many other text editors do. EditPad Lite uses the same full-featured regular expression engine used by PowerGREP. EditPad Lite’s regex flavor is highly compatible with the flavors used by Perl, Java, .NET and many other modern Perl-style regular expression flavors.

EditPad Lite integrates with RegexBuddy and RegexMagic. You can instantly fire up RegexBuddy to edit the regex you want to use in EditPad Lite, select one from a RegexBuddy library, or generate one using RegexMagic.

Search and Replace Using Regular Expressions

Pressing Ctrl+F in EditPad Lite will make the search and replace pane appear. Mark the box labeled “regular expressions” to enable regex mode. Type in the regex you want to search for, and hit the Find First or Find Next button. EditPad Lite will then highlight search match. If the search pane takes up too much space, simply close it after entering the regular expression. Press Ctrl+F3 to find the first match, or F3 to find the next one.

When there are no further regex matches, EditPad Lite doesn’t interrupt you with a popup message that you have to OK. The text cursor and selection will simply stay where they were, and the find button that you clicked will flash briefly. This may seem a little subtle at first, but you’ll quickly appreciate EditPad Lite staying out of your way and keeping you productive.

Replacing text is just as easy. First, type the replacement text, using backreferences if you want, in the Replace box. Search for the match you want to replace as above. To replace the current match, click the Replace button. To replace it and immediately search for the next match, click the Replace Next button. Or, click Replace All to get it over with.

EditPad Lite is an excellent general-purpose text editor that's fast, easy to use, and packed with useful features.

The program can open as many files as you need, for instance, and you can switch between them with a tabbed interface. The tabs work much like a browser, so you're able to rearrange them by dragging and dropping, close all but the current tab with a right-click option, or save a file by dragging and dropping its tab onto a folder.

EditPad Lite offers a wide range of interesting text manipulation options. You're able to indent and outdent text, insert the contents of a file at a given point in your document, convert a selected block of text to upper or lower case, and more. A powerful search and replace panel includes a history, so you can recall previous searches in a couple of clicks. And the unlimited undo and redo will rescue your work if you make a mistake.

The program can handle documents with Unix, Mac and DOS line endings, and supports Unicode text files, all Windows and ISO-8859 code pages, as well as many DOS, KOI8 and EBCDIC code pages. So no more editing complications, just because you're working with a file that came from (or is destined for) some other platform.

Productivity features include the option to keep the EditPad window on top of your other windows. And the program can leave an icon in the system tray, so it's very easy to access. But if you don't like that, then it's easily changed, as is just about every other aspect of the program - it's all extremely configurable.

Verdict

Don't let the 'Lite' designation fool you. There is a commercial version available with extra features (and if you like this then check the author's site for the details), but we think there's more than enough text editing functionality here for most people
