UltraEdit vs Synalyze It!

UltraEdit has small memory usage and allows for fast parsing/searching when handling large files.

Supports several protocols for accessing remote files and working on them with the same ease as local files. Files can be integrated in the projects as normal files.

If you need a general editor, UltraEdit is the way to go. If you were writing C/C++ all day, then this would be your editor. If you need to slog through large files then this is your go to editor. If you need to go through XML files, then this is your editor. If you need to sort data, then this your my editor.

It loads with a short delay, but once loaded it's snappy and rock-solid. Anyone accustomed to using Windows text editors will feel at home in its interface, and those that prefer alternate keybindings can easily change them.

From Ultraedit to Perl to Unix regex engines, the search and replace can accomplish just about anything.

Whether for feature requests, technical support or license questions, IDM is always quick to respond.

There's a handful of other features like this that make UltraEdit indispensable.

UltraEdit offer the best of both worlds. it has a full on GUI along with all the shortcut commands you need. There's no need for the user to suffer 80 char limitations of a terminal editor.

UltraEdit allows you to handle groups of files as a project.

You can even add your own grammar for a new file type structure. Great for analysing foreign file formats.

Compares binary files byte-by-byte or with a more flexible algorithm that shows inserts and deletions in any of the compared files.

Huge files can be opened and edited instantly because only the displayed part is loaded to memory.

The script engines allow you to automate repetitive tasks and extend the standard functionality.

Selecting a bit of source code and using th e"Show Checksums" feature allows seeing different checksums for selected text and get it updated in real time.

The editor allows selecting a bit of source code and highlight it.

The histogram shows the distribution of all byte values in the file. This lets you quickly see if a file is compressed or encrypted.

This feature lets you compare the text representation of a byte sequence for numerous text encodings. This is the most efficient way to find the correct text encoding, be it ASCII-based, EBCDIC or any other code page supported by libICU.

The search results are immediately highlighted in the hex editor. Text, numbers, and masks can be searched.
