There you have it -- I don't need to read any further! This was the deal breaker for me, and I gladly paid for the EditPlus license. And, even apart from multi-line search&replace, s&r seemed a lot more robust in EditPlus than in PSPad. Also, working in PSPad sometimes gives me a wobbly feeling ;-) whereas EditPlus is rock solid. Both have one thing in common, though, after using them for 5 minutes you know for sure they're just superb pieces of software. When I inquired about the lack-luster search&replace in PSPad as compared to EditPlus a few years ago, Jan Fiala replied that the main reason for this was that EditPlus uses a commercial search&replace component in its codebase, whereas PSPad, being 100% freeware, cannot, at least for the moment, afford to include such high-powered functionality. -- PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
