The full-functional text editor

The full-functional text editor does line comparing and allows to carry out additional editing of the text while matching. It is done as conveniently and easily as in the usual text editor.

• full Undo/Redo support;
• bookmarks;
• line number in the margin;
• support of DOS, Unix, Macintosh and mixed "end-of-line" format in text files;
• find and replace with regular expressions support;
• support of text files in Unicode and UTF-8 formats (Unicode version only);
• copying of the selected text to the clipboard in HTML format with syntax highlighting.

Strict and exact syntax highlighting

The majority of modern text editing tools possess a syntax highlighting feature of various programming languages. Visual Comparer has this feature as well.

Visual Comparer supports syntax highlighting for the following programming languages:

• HTML and CSS2;
• C and C++ (based on Visual C++ 6.0);
• C# (C Sharp - Visual Studio.NET);
• Visual Basic .NET;
• VBScript .NET;
• JScript .NET (version 7.0 from Visual Studio.NET);
• Borland Delphi 7;
• Perl (version 5.005);
• and more ...

Line matching

Visual Comparer supports char-by-char lines comparison (F12 and Shift+F12 to enable this mode). Unequal chars are marked red. See the screenshot:

Navigation by differences with synchronization feature

The recommendation: Use keyboard shortcuts to move between differences. It is more efficient and convenient than using the buttons located on command toolbars.
