Sublime: I have no idea and I am not willing to read documentation for such basic features. How do I recognize the acutal text encoding? Zeus: Same as Sublime - no information at all.Ĥ. The other informations I would be interested in are also not available or well hidden. is 53158512 big so I think this means something like Byte. This includes file size in a not specified number. UltraEdit: UltraEdit shows in the bottom bar some information about the acutal file.
Sublime: I was not able to see any of those informations in Sublime and I am not willing to read documentation for such basic features. How do I recognize additional file information ad the number of lines, number of words, number of chars? In general, Zeus appeared very stable to me.ģ. *] It seems that I could win the crash challenge which is run in order to prove the stability of Zeus - unfortunatley it crashed several times after opening this file and just doing nothing. Interesting: While UltraEdit is as slim as it is fast (and I guess this goes for longer loading times when scrolling through files) Zeus seems to be the bit faster that it uses more memory. I admit, this is influenced by a lot of other factors and I guess repeating the experiment would end in varying results but at the end of the day, the tendencies are useful to know. How much RAM is used according to the task manager? Oh yeah, there is something you need to know in regard of UltraEdits file handling: If the file is bigger than 1 MByte you always get a dialog window before the file opens asking you to select: Open the file directly which makes changes permanent or in a temporary file which makes it longer to process. And, in contrary to Zeus, it showed a status bar while loading so you knew it was working which is for loading time more than 10 seconds a real useful information. Zeus reads the entire file as Sublime does as well but Zeus is a lot faster and I was not sure if Sublime will not crash at the end of the procedure as it didn't react for some time but than was stable. As UltraEdit does not load the whole file at once but the part you are looking at, it does not matter how big the entire file is - opening it and starting to work with it does never ever take longer than a second.
(Ok, as I used real text files and not ones I made up the real files sizes are 53 MByte, 105 MByte and 1.84 GByte)Īs we can see, we are looking at three very different styles of text file handling. How long does it take to open a 50 MByte / 100 MByte / 1.8 GByte text file? UltraEdit (21.30) by IDM Computer Solutions - 79,95 $ġ. Sublime Text (2.0.2) by Sublime HQ - 70 $ Can reliably recognize and convert text encodings Has a stable and fast and transparent regular expressions componentģ. I think I can break it down to the following points:Ģ. What do I want, what do I expect, what do I require from a text editor? After my mail contact with Jussi I was interested in the power of the "great" Zeus I missed in my last test. A friend is using Sublime and I like to watch him using it as it is as well fancy as mighty.ģ. However, I was never really content with my election so maybe this test will reveal some other preferences.Ģ.
My last tests winner was UltraEdit and I am still using it since then. How I decide which editors to test? Like this:ġ.
So today I am going to compare three of the best ediors on the market right now.
#EDITPAD LITE 7 LAST FILE OPENED EMPTY PROFESSIONAL#
He send me a mail some months ago and asked, why I compared his years old free Zeus version with professional commercial up to date versions from Ultraedit, Sublime etc. Additionally I spend a lot of time in text editors and prefer appealing ones (so please don't give me advice regarding vi or emacs -) ).įirst of all I want to send apologies to Jussi Jumppanen, the author of Zeus. I guess, my profession as a computational linguist brings some special requirements for a text editor which may differ from other users' needs, e.g. Back in October 2013 I evaluated several commercial and free text editors.
