UltraEdit is a long-standing, popular code and text editor, with its own macro language, a powerful column-editing mode, custom environments, tag lists, and templates.

Version 17 brings enhanced file explorer views, tighter integration with the sister application UltraCompare, customized tabs, and search expression highlighting.

See http://www.ultraedit.com/products/ultraedit/ultraedit_features.html for a complete features list.
