Re: EmEditor Speed
The point is the number of tokens (occurrences). If you have a million of tokens to replace, you will see EmEditor is faster. Also, it is not fair to compare EmEditor with a non-Unicode text editor. There is a big difference between ANSI comparison and Unicode comparison.

Re: EmEditor Speed
I did a test on the same file, but with 1129344 entries to replace and as you said in this case emeditor is faster without any doubt.....especially when "Match case" is checked.

I don't know if textpad use ANSI comparison or not, but if that is the case i guess it can make a difference as well as you also said.

In any case i don't find the speed to be a problem for either of them so it was never mean't as a complaint.....just an observation.

I've played around with the source code, and succeeded to optimize the Replace function. The next minor version (7.00.7) will become much faster than previous versions (about 5X faster when ignoring case, and 2X faster when matching case in my test).

Nice work. Even if the current version is working great it's always nice when it's enhanced further.

Thanks

Re: EmEditor Speed
7.00.7 is out. Has anyone tested and compared it to the previous versions?

Re: EmEditor Speed
I tested and found 7.00.7 to be pretty much faster then 7.00.5. Also faster then any other text editor i tried. There is almost no difference between case sensitive and case insensitive searching now while using 7.00.5 the difference could be pretty big.
But it seems like 7.00.8 is out now as well as 7.00.9 RC1.

Re: EmEditor Speed
Unfortunately I didn't have the possibility to test the new version yet.
For me Search/Replace with RegEx enabled was very slow in bigger files in the last versions.
Is RegEx Search/Replace also faster now?

Re: EmEditor Speed
Yes search and replace is much faster in general.

Re: EmEditor Speed - New Question
I purchased EmEditor to help me edit large (4.8 GB and larger) ASCII text files. I have a duo core laptop, WinXP Pro and 2 GB ram.

Can you recommend settings to optimize the Finding and Editing of text ?

Thanks

You should be able to use EmEditor at default settings for maximum speed. However, if the text is not .txt file, you might want to try Text configuration to start with, and you might want to disable all plug-ins.
