EmEditor Professional

If you're browsing for a versatile text editor for your Windows system, look no further than EmEditor Professional. This lightweight editor is the perfect fit for Unicode and other international encodings, supporting fast and easy editing of massive files upwards of 248GB. With optimization for speed and reliability, EmEditor prides itself on the Large File Controller that helps users open vast files in smaller sections.

One of EmEditor's defining features is its high-speed capability, which was proven in an independent speed test that gauged EmEditor against 10 other text editors across four different categories, winning comfortably across every test. EmEditor also boasts an attractive suite of features that include JavaScript, VBScript macros, plugins, embedded scripts in HTML, PHP, and ASP files, drag-and-drop, CSV and TSV mode, and much more.

Thanks to its flexible capabilities, EmEditor supports not only Javascript and VBScript macros, but other ActiveScript languages like PerlScript, PHPScript, Python, Ruby, and more, as long as the script engines you intend to use are installed on your system. The text editor can also record and play keystrokes and mouse operations against other applications, thanks to features like projects and word completion plugins. EmEditor's portability options are also noteworthy, with support for USB drive setups.

EmEditor Professional v13 comes equipped with many new features like the Multiple Selection Editing mode, which permits users to select and edit text from multiple areas of the document simultaneously. The text editor also introduces the much-awaited Split Current Document into Several Files and Combine Documents into a Single File features, an enhanced large file handling option that supports faster sorting performance times, among other useful updates.

EmEditor Professional is fully compatible across multiple Windows systems, including Windows 8, 7, Vista, XP, Server 2008, and Server 2003.
