Feature list

Multiple Selection mode allows you to edit text fast, and even to Sort or Delete Duplicate Lines only in selected column ranges.

EmEditor allows you to filter text documents and CSV documents with number ranges.

EmEditor allows you to use replacement expressions using JavaScript.

EmEditor allows you to drag the bottom right corner of the selected cell border (AutoFill handle) to copy the same value as the selected cell to the up, down, right, or left neighboring cell(s).

The new version enhances CSV features and adds the Filter toolbar. It’s a best tool to analyze big data and database files.

The Snippets plug-in allows you to insert words, phrases, and interactive pieces of code quickly. The video demonstrates how to edit HTML and C Plus Plus C++ files using the snippets plug-in.

EmEditor is available in both 64-bit and 32-bit builds. As you can see from the examples on right, the 64-bit build runs as much as 16% to 74% faster than the 32-bit build when dealing with very large files. If you use 64-bit Windows, the 64-bit build of EmEditor is absolutely recommended!

Moreover, EmEditor uses various CPU optimizations such as multithreading and SIMD technology such as AVX-512 and AVX-2 to improve the speed of opening very large files, Find/Replace/Filter, parsing CSV, various Sort, Delete Duplicate Lines, and various other operations.

• The Find Matching Parenthesis/Bracket command allows you to jump between a pair of brackets.

• Scriptable macros allow you to create macros for your repeated tasks.

Server log files tend to be very large. EmEditor can open very large plain text files, and the Large File Controller allows you to open only a specified portion, for instance, the last portion of the file. The flexible search feature allows you to search for a specific term.

You can also use the bookmark features, so that you can bookmark lines that match certain criteria, such as lines with error keywords or URLs. And then, you can extract those lines into a new file. The Marker feature allows you to highlight any specific terms, which allows you to read documents much easier. The Word Count plug-in allows you to count specific terms or characters.

WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT US

WORLD’S FASTEST TEXT EDITOR GETS EVEN BETTER!

EmEditor is a smart editor from Emurasoft that can handle pretty much any sized file. 2GB? 20? 200? No problem. A billion lines? Sure. What about really long lines? Is 10 million columns enough, because EmEditor can handle that with ease. It’s not just for programmers, but programmers can certainly appreciate and use many of its features.

EmEditor is one of the few editors I know that has been built for both 32- and 64-bit modes. If you have a 64-bit operating system, why shouldn’t you be using a 64-bit editor? You can edit files larger than 4GB even on 32-bit Windows, but 64-bits makes the editor run even faster and keep more in memory before using temporary space.

Hi Yutaka,

After working a while with EmEditor, I just want to say it’s really the fastest, most convenient and best editor I’ve ever worked so far under windows. I’m really glad that there are still people who care about performance and short loading times!

Thanks a lot for this master piece of software and keep up the good work.

Marcus, Germany

I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND EMEDITOR FOR ANY INTENSIVE TEXT-CENTRIC ACTIVITY! I’ve been using EmEditor for the last 3 years, mostly for ontology crafting. I chose that editor after testing a lot of different solutions, and the two major reasons for that choice have been: true UTF-8 encoding, and unlimited size of documents (with light speed loading). All the other solutions I tested were falling short of providing one or the other. Additionally, I came to appreciate the excellent plug-ins, the keen regex integration, the side by side comparison, etc. EmEditor is a complex software with a ton of features and I’ve lost my way a couple of times but Emurasoft has been each time immediately responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend EmEditor as a first choice for any intensive text-centric activity.
