[Tutorial]View vb Source code in Notepad
 

Hey all,

This is just a little experience I got from my Coding life :p, if you want to view your vb source code by Notepad, and you will see, the first time it's just like a big junk of code, can't even recognize some main things (you can see in the attachment below) :speechless:. So if you want to fix it, then open the file first by Wordpad right click > Open with... > WordPad (for Windows users only) and choose for Save or hold Ctrl+S, then close it and open the file again by Notepad, you will get a nice and neat lines of code as you see in the attachment :D I think the main point is Wordpad has the feature to recognize the lines of code, so when we open by Wordpad, the source code has probably re-arranged and temporary save in the memory, then we just have to save it to the real file then. I myself prefer to do things with Notepad and I need it recognizable though. Have fun guys ;)

Or use editplus2.

It's much better, and doesn't require opening and re-saving.

Or TextPad.com :D

nonono, it's all crap. either too big, either it's not free. the best program that COMPLETELY replaces notepad is Notepad 2, which i have been using for over a year now. it's awesome, has a lot of features like code highlighting (over 15 formats!), line numbering, etc, but best of all, it's completely free! enjoy.

This thread is just a tutorial for anyone who prefer to do their works in Notepad, we already had a thread about PHP editor software in the Lounge, I do not support those else in here ;)

Thanks, I will use it! I like simple and free doesn't hurt!

Regards,

Matt
