Powerful text editor for Windows. Now a Borland Product '''Author:''' Borland '''Homepage:''' http://www.borland.com '''Family:''' BriefFamily '''License:''' Commercial '''Availability:''' No '''Platform:''' Windows '''Screenshot:''' http://comsci.liu.edu/~vasilaky/dotnet/Csharpbook_files/image002.gif Unfortunately, Borland has decided to [http://www.borland.com/resources/en/pdf/products/codewright/codewright_letter.pdf discontinue CodeWright]. CodeWright supports the following Macro Languages: appBASIC, PERL 5.x, internal API (C-like). Also supports keystroke macros (recordings) ala BRIEF. Considered the premiere Windows editor, especially for programmers (see http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?CodeWright ). ---- I tend to think VisualSlickEdit is hard to beat. ---- Well well. Thanks Eric. It seems Borland has successfully killed Two major TextEditors: [[Brief]] and CodeWright. ---- Three, actually - they acquired Mark of the Unicorn's Final Word, which began as MINCE (Mince Is Not Complete Emacs) under CP/M, and offered it for a while as Borland Sprint. '''DMcCunney''' 03/03/07 ---- Thankfully, <nowiki>CodeWright</nowiki> ver 7.5 is still available from Embarcadero [edn.embarcadero.com/article/42129]. And many of the 'extensions' are also still available at Pingbot [http://filedb.pingbot.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=nMeCa8tuzwcJfDO0l04GP2&direction=0&order=&directory=CodeWright%20Extensions/CodeWright%207.5%20Plug-ins] Let me state up front that I have been a fan of CodeWright since the days when it was a Starbase product, so I may be a bit biased. Beyond the 'macro support' listed above, it has a lot of great features for programmers especially: * Great Regular Expression support for search and replace * Programability - that led to some great 'add-ins'. Two that I use are a 'detab' tool that converts tabs to spaces and a 'sort' function that allows you to 'sort' the lines in a block of text. * Keyboard/Macro/API/Function mapping * File folding (called 'Selective Display') But the feature that ''I'' like most (and have never found in another editor) is the ability to mark, cut, copy, past and insert as 'columns' or 'blocks' ... ignoring 'line breaks'. That is an AWESOME ability … especially when you are working with code, and assembly most of all. But I have to say that I use it a lot outside of programming. '''MikeD''' 6/6/2015
