Scite Open Source Text Editor

Scite Open Source Text Editor: "

Scite is an Open Source text editor for Windows and Linux. It supports many of the features of popular editors like Notepad++ and can therefor be seen as an alternative to those programs, at least on the Windows operating system. Scite can open multiple text files at once which are displayed in tabs in its interface.

It supports code highlighting and other coding related features to make it as easy as possible to work with programming languages. It supports a large variety of programming languages from C++ over php to Hypertext, batch and Assembler.

One interesting feature of Scite is the ability to compile or run source files directly from within its interface if the programming environment is installed on the computer system. The output is directly shown in the editor’s output pane.

Console commands are available as well for users who prefer to work from the command line. They can be used to perform different commands like replacing text in files, searching for phrases, opening a document or to load a previously saved session.

Windows users can download a related program from the same developer called Filerx which adds project management and macros to the Open Source text editor. Scite is available for download at the developer’s website. The program is fully portable and compatible with Windows XP and newer Microsoft operating systems.
