wheeloftime Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 when installing some contrubition, we need to modify some files, what tool do you recommend to use to modify the file? do we use NOTEPAD.EXE??? JUST OPEN the text file and do the modification, and then save/upload? please help, thank you Notepad will do as text editor but there are better suited ones (with line numbers, syntax highlighting/checking etc.) if you know you are going to change files often. Many have their own favorite but a few good ones are Textpad, UltraEdit, Editpad(Pro), Crimson Editor etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khime Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Dreamweaver takes took long to long to load from scratch if you just want to edit code Editplus is is good along with a code comparing program like "beyond compare" which is essential for adding new code to a heavily modified shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
