Hi,
I just want to let you all know that I have posted a TextPad Syntax Definition File on the TextPad website. This enables syntax highlighting when editing DataStage Basic code in TextPad. The file can be downloaded here:

I don't user either TextPad or UltraEdit. Anyone want to list some advantages /disadvantages of the two programs and why the prefer the editor they chose?
Thanks
Thanks

Well they both offer the advantage of highlighting your code with color.
I am not too familiar with TextPad but UltraEdit has these features that are useful to me:
-Disk based text editing - supports files in excess of 4GB, minimum RAM used even for multi-megabyte files
-Syntax highlighting - configurable, pre-configured for C/C++, VB, HTML, Java, and Perl, with special options for FORTRAN and LaTex. Multiple wordfiles available for download ie: Universe Basic
-Column/block mode editing (for selecting a column of data in a text file)
-Hexadecimal Editor - allows editing of any binary file, shows binary and ASCII view
Of course there are many more ...

I love UltraEdits's multiline search and replace that is great for making changes to DataStage export files.
