Overall Satisfaction with UltraEdit
To my knowledge I am the only user of UltraEdit in my department. I have a continuing need to open and edit very large text files. UltraEdit easily manages these large files without any issues. In particular, I typically edit these files performing a search-and-replace on individual characters, CR/LF characters and tab characters.
- It is amazing at editing by columns
- It allows me to quickly and easily search by ASCII character value
- The built-in file comparison feature is very accurate and easy to use
- UltraEdit is relatively slow to load
- It is not possible to open multiple individual sessions of UltraEdit
- The standard toolbar is a bit too "verbose" showing options using large, colorful icons. I prefer a minimalist, simplified toolbar
- The ability to perform sear-and-replace on incredibly large text files is vital to ongoing business. This has had very positive impact on ROI
I have evaluated Notepad++ as an alternative to UltraEdit. In some cases, such as loading time, Notepad++ is a superior product. However, in terms of editing existing macros, and editing very large text files UltraEdit is a much better product.
