free editor with parenthesis/brace/bracket highlighting?

[NTB]

Got a couple queries to sort through at work that contain a whole mess of parenthesis; something that can highlight matching pairs would make working with them a heck of a lot easier. Any suggestions?

And no, I didn't write them. I just got stuck with them

VS Express's IDE does this.

Also, Notepad++ does this. Notepad++ is free and small enough to fit on a flashdrive.

Interesting...I'll have to check out VS on my work machine tommorow. I didn't even think about that - most of the development I work on is either Java or IBM Mainframe stuff; haven't touched VS in quite a while.

give notepad++ a try, it's a very good light syntax coloring editor.

vim 7.x, maybe earlier, will highlight the other end of a bracket, brace, etc when you select one and you can hit % to jump back and forth.
