This is the portable edition of RJ TextEd, a utility which provides a user-friendly environment and rich features for editing text and source code, designed for web designers and programmers.
As the app does not come with a setup pack, you can just save the program files anywhere on the hard disk and run the executable file directly. But the main advantage of a portable app is that you can store it on a USB flash drive or other removable device, in order to run it on any computer without prior installers.
Another upside to the tool is that it does not add new entries to the Windows Registry, or leave files behind on the hard disk after removing it.
The interface of the program consists of a single window divided into multiple panes, dedicated either to file/folder navigation or file/project viewing.
RJ TextEd offers support for a wide array of programming languages, such as C++, C#, Java, Pascal and PHP, as well as for Unicode and ASCII, among others.
When working on a project, you can open multiple files and easily toggle them. Aside from editing code, you can preview it in your preferred web browser (e.g. Firefox, Chrome), or File Commander, within the main frame. Less experienced users need not worry about getting lost in RJ TextEd's features, as the tool puts a help file and tutorials at their disposal.
Some of RJ TextEd's notable options revolve around a hexadecimal editor, external file insertion, spellchecker, incremental search function, word counter/frequency, full screen mode, newline format, the conversion of file encoding methods, and so on. The session can be saved to file for further modifications, and you may export the project to RTF, xHTML or an encrypted file, send it via email or upload it via FTP. Other features of the app let you insert HTML tags, record macros, use a syntax editor and expression evaluator, as well as customize the UI appearance.
RJ TextEd certainly brings forth many useful functions for editing text and source code, regardless of the selected programming language. It has a good response time and is surprisingly light on the CPU and memory, without hogging the system resources. No error dialogs have been shown in our tests and the app did not hang or crash. Thanks to its comprehensive features, yet intuitive workspace, RJ TextEd should be especially appealing to advanced users.
