Useful utilities - PFE, Notepad++ and XML Notepad 2007
- by TATWORTH
All three editors are free to download and use!
PFE http://www.lancs.ac.uk/staff/steveb/cpaap/pfe
XML Notepad 2007 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=72d6aa49-787d-4118-ba5f-4f30fe913628&displaylang=en
Notepad++ http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/download.php
PFE development has stopped and I have included it mainly for reference. It does however have the facility to:
Run DOS commands and capture the output
Run simple macros
XML Note Pad 2007 is excellent if you need to data values from attributes or elements.
Notepad++ has various add-ons available for it. - When you download it, be sure to run its internal update function.
Needless to say, all three are better than Notepad!
