TextPad® is designed to provide the power and functionality to satisfy the most demanding text editing requirements. It can edit files up to the limits of virtual memory, and it will work with the 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows® 2000, Server 2003, XP and Vista.
TextPad has been implemented according to the Windows XP user interface guidelines, so great attention has been paid to making it easy for both beginners and experienced users. In-context help is available for all commands, and in-context menus pop-up with the right mouse button. The Windows multiple document interface allows multiple files to be edited simultaneously, with up to 2 views on each file. Text can be dragged and dropped between files.
In addition to the usual cut and paste capabilities, you can correct the most common typing errors with commands to change case, and transpose words, characters and lines. Other commands let you indent blocks of text, split or join lines, and insert whole files. Any change can be undone or redone, right back to the first one made. Visible bookmarks can be put on lines, and edit commands can be applied to lines with bookmarks.
Frequently used combinations of commands can be saved as keystroke macros, and the spelling checker has dictionaries for 10 languages.
It also has a customizable tools menu, and integral file compare and search commands, with hypertext jumps from the matched text to the corresponding line in the source file (ideal for integrating compilers).

I use it as a swift IDE for java and C++.I 've try many code-edit tools, such as ultraedit, nopad++, but I have to say this one is the best one among them.
Yes, there may be nicer code/text editors out there, but Textpad is invaluable to us for inspecting our log files, which roll over at 1GB. The Find-in-Files search allows rapid location of needles in haystacks, and the tabs keep open files in one place. Sophisticated searching with bookmarking allows us to pull out all the logging for a particular thread. Lately I've been finding handy for Wiki-ising documents too.

I use it for JAVA coding. Its really great!!
I've only started using it recently for editing of huge files and I find it very handy. I don't use it for coding (why would I?)
A classic tool that has been around for awhile. It is good at sorting out large xml and doing file comparing.
Great program for coding! I'd much rather use it than notepad or wordpad.
Excellent for coding and other tasks, but getting a little antiquated.
I'm using TextPad for about 8 years. But now it's time for a change :-)
An excellent, extensible text editor with syntax highlighting and regular expression searching.
Not the most elegant text editor for windows, but they have a handy Shell option that makes editing files with a right-click a snap.
