How do you fine a line by its number? (for hacking)

[JJR512]

There are a lot of hacks (and even bug fixes) with instructions to find something on a particular line. Well usually I just look for the example of what was there to begin with. But sometimes, there are multiple instances of something to replace, and I can't tell which one to replace because I don't know the line numbers. All I use is the Notepad that comes with Windows. So can someone please give me somewhere I can download a simple text editor that lets me see line numbers?

You get textpad at www.textpad.com and it will have linenumbers displayed for you.

I goto either :

www.download.com and would do a search for notepads.. like

UltraEdit.. which I use and love!.. cause when you are edited a file, it automatically makes a *.bak backup file... incase you need to change something back to what it was.

or this one... is pretty good.. NotePad Plus

This is my little tool, and I don't use anything else or even think about anything else (no need):

www.editplus.com <-- EditPlus 2. Syntax highlighting, line numbers, the works

I quite like using PHPcoder, which you should be able to get from www.downloads.com. This has line numbers and it also highlights PHP syntax so it is easier to code correctly. It also allows (With PHP Binary Executable) you to test PHP scripts without having to upload or use a PWS... It can be a bit buggy sometimes but i think it is freeware...
