文本编辑

今天无意中逛到Ultraedit for Linux版本，有点不淡定了，当时在琢磨能有Linux版本，应该能移植到MAC OS X啊。果然，在UE官网看到了消息：Ultraedit for MAC OS X now in beta。

登记了电邮地址，申请参加beta体验，被告知：

Thank you for your interest in UltraEdit for Mac!  We are excited too.

As you may already know, the UltraEdit for Mac beta is well underway.

With each subsequent beta update, we will increase the number of participants involved by several hundred.  This gives us fresh testers at each stage of the beta which allows us to identify and validate bug and performance fixes via a larger group as well as cultivate new feedback on new features added.

Because there are thousands of testers signed up for the beta program, you can expect to receive a notification and a download URL for the latest UltraEdit for Mac beta when it is available for testing in the near future.  All beta testers will be included in the program before commercial release (planned late Nov/early Dec this year).

Thank you for your interest in UltraEdit for Mac.  We so greatly appreciate your trust in IDM and your community leadership.

看来还排不上，不过年底前能发布正式商业版的消息是确实的了。哇哈哈哈哈，其他的文本编辑器可以扔掉啦～～～

可能不少朋友还不大清楚Ultraedit究竟是何方神圣。从简单功能来说，UE原本是Win平台上最好的文本编辑器之一，在文本编辑的基础上，UE还支持转码（比如ASCII到UNICODE、Win和UNIX格式转换等）、16位编辑（往往是用来直接破解程序），支持开发中的自动语法加亮（这一功能囊括了SQL、PHP、C、C++、Java、JSP等等，并且加亮规则可以自己修改、定义）。UE一般和UltraCompare一起销售（原先功能是放一起的），后者支持狂强的文件比对功能。我个人最喜欢的UE功能是，列编辑模式。例如说日志文件、数据文本包含了多个等宽列，进入列模式以后可以非常方便的删掉整个列，或者替换什么的。经常需要处理大量日志的朋友可能会有更深的体会，呵呵。UE的性能超猛，通过设置不使用tempfile（即不产生临时文件）后，可以秒开几个G的文本数据，并立即开始修改或者搜索。
