However, there may be still some bugs and missing features that are being worked on. When using less CPU power, the PC can throttle down and reduce power consumption, resulting in a greener environment. By optimizing as many routines as possible without losing user friendlyness, Notepad++ is trying to reduce the world carbon dioxide emissions. Running in the MS Windows environment, its use is governed by GPL Licence.īased on a powerful editing component Scintilla, Notepad++ is written in C++ and uses pure Win32 API and STL which ensures a higher execution speed and smaller program size. Good stuff.Notepad++ is a free (as in "free speech" and also as in "free beer") source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages. It is gratis (freeware), and is available for both Windows and Linux. It includes full-featured regular expression (regex) and wildcard searches, for maximum flexibility. It will allow you to view raw sectors in a layout similar to the one that WinMerge2011 uses to view files. If you are looking for a sector editor (to edit raw sectors on a drive), then I recommend Active Disk Editor. I recommend the WinMerge2011 fork, as it has significant improvements and bug fixes over the original WinMerge. HXD Hex Editor, which meets all your requirements (including portability), except it does not have regex search (or I was unable to make it work!).Īlso, as you discovered, WinMerge does have excellent hex editing capabilities.It does have wildcard search, which has its pros and cons when compared to regex. Hex Editor XVI32, which meets all your requirements (including portability), except it does not have full regex searches.As such, this is still a workable solution, but I suggest looking at alternatives as well. Because of this, there are currently over 1000 unfixed bugs in those packages, and many will likely never get fixed. Update (2021): Over the years, I have found quite a few bugs in both Notepad++ and its Hex Editor plugin. It is completely portable, free (gratis), open-source, and meets all your requirements. I recommend Notepad++ with the Hex Editor plugin.
