Software - Text and HTML Editor - NoteTab Pro

Internet Marketing requires software to make you productive. One of the programs I use multiple times a day is NoteTab Pro Text and HTML Editor. It is essentially the Word for Windows version of a text editor for just text.

Here is how I use it:
* The main feature is that it is programmable. If I have a list of say 1,000 lines, but I only need to see 50 lines at once, I can write a simple script that will cut 50 lines at once.

; Deletes first 50 lines of focused file
; Line 51 becomes line 1
; First 50 lines placed on Clipboard to paste...

^!Jump 51
^!SelectTo 1:1
^!SetClipboard ^$GetSelection$
^!InsertText ^%Empty%

;or
; ^!Jump 51
; ^!SelectTo 1:1
; ^!Toolbar Cut

* After I write and save something I can hit and it automatically inserts the file name into the document. It also can insert date and/or time.

* If I am editing say a 100 page web site and I need to do a change on some pages, but I don't know which pages carry the text that needs updating, I open all 100 pages at once. Then, I do a global search and replace. Then hit "save all," and close. It takes about 4 minutes to open, edit and close for a text or HTML tag change like this.

* I use the change case, especially when I am writing content and I want the paragraph header to be first letter capitalized. You Know What I Mean?

* It has super sorting abilities. Let say that I want to take a page of text and see how many times I used a certain word. You can search for and replace with a paragraph <^p) the entire document and then sort. Here is the code ^!Replace " " >> "^P" WAST
^!Replace "^t" >> "^P" WAST
^!Select All
^!InsertText ^$StrSort("^$GetSelection$";1;1;1)$
; ^!Goto Exit

* You can look at the keyword frequency. As with many text editors, you also get a word and character count.

* It has a spell checker, numbers lines, and has preconfigured text editing scripts, called Clipbooks or Clipbook libraries, as well.

There is more, but you get the idea on how to use this HTML editing software.
