General Windows File Editor

[PaulSc]

Hi,
Having come from a mainframe background (ok a long long time ago!!) I miss the flexability of the old ISPF/TSO editor functions..

Does anybody out there know if theres anything similar for Windows, preferably freeware....

Specifically looking for things which allow you to edit/open a file and only display lines that contain certain text (i.e. in ispf x all;f fred all - hides everything and only shows lines containing fred),
change fred to bill between positions 10 and 20 etc etc

Seem to remember fining a program a while back but its long gone..Any suggestions ???

Thanks

(apols if this is wrong forum..please move/remove if inappropriate..)

My preferred text editor is notepadd++. If you're looking for a binary editor though, you'll need something else

Hi,
Try Windows GREP - its search functions can do what you need - it is also as fully functional as the 'Nix grep..

I'm not sure you could ever compare the abilities of WinGrep to the native edition, the command line is much more powerful!

That said, it's one of the better choices on the windows platform.
