Text editor?

[rivan]

There's a sea of text editors out there - I'm looking for a Windows version of TextWrangler.

I need powerful find/replace, prefix/suffixing lines, shift case, entab/detab, sorting and a command similar to "Process lines containing..." (which has options including copy to clipboard and delete).

Free = win.

What do you all use?

This.

find/replace: /[regex]/, :[line range]s/[regex]/[replacement]/[g] (or use the GUI.)
prefix/suffixing: /^[regex]/, /[regex]$/
shift case: ~
entab/detab: >, < (followed by movement command)
sorting: Well, it's not intrinsic, but you can try ":[line range]!sort"
Process lines containing: You got me there. :$

By the way, [line range] can be such things as:
&#37;: all lines
^,.: Start to this line
42,$: Line 42 to the end.

So maybe that covers the last criterion?
