Welcome to this Blog. I am Software Engineer and work for Zühlke Engineering AG in Bern. This is my private blog, in which I will post mainly about technical stuff like Software Engineering or IT related topics. The views expressed herein do not necessarily represent those of my employer.
I got into a situation, in which I had the content of a large XML file in my clipboard. Unfortunately, the whole file didn’t had any breaks, they were all printed as \r\n.
But with Programmer’s Notepad 2 there is a simple solution. In the replace dialog, just enable the option “Allow backslash expression” in the Replace dialog and replace all \r\n in the text with “real” \r\n, which appear as breaks in the text.
Do you need a simple, fast Text Editor, which can perform just some simple more task than the usual Notepad? Then have a look at the Programmer’s Notepad 2.
The most important feature is the tabbed interface.

Another interesting feature is the definition of tools. In Programmer’s Notepad 2, you can easily define some 3th party tools. I open usually XML files with pnotepad2, because it’s a fast editor. If I want to check the XML Schema, I just open a XML editing tool, which can perform this task.
