    Hi

    I have carried out some more testing. Sorry for the time lag but I only seem to get time on weekends nowadays. Your suggestion of using Match Case is really not usable since in most cases I don’t really care about the case of a search / replace string.

    In my testing the target file is a plain text file with 1 million lines (137 Mb)

    9/05/2008 19:30 137,109,008 target.txt
    137,109,008 bytes in 1 file and 0 dirs 137,109,504 bytes allocated

    The host is Windows XP SP2 with 2 GB of ram. I am replacing the word Feature with abcD – 7112 occurences. I have carried out the test with three editors; Textpad, Notepad++ 4.8.5, and emEditor v7.00.5. I carried out the tests several times and then averaged the results. As you can see Textpad is the outright winner. Its no case matching search and replace is actually faster than emEdit with Case matching. At the moment Textpad gets my vote.

    Textpad 5.0.3 32-bit:
    No case matching: 5 secs
    Match case: 3 secs

    Notepad++:
    No case matching: 47 secs
    Match case: 14 secs

    EmEditor v7.00.5
    No case matching: 36 secs
    Match case: 7 secs

    Cheers

    As I said, my settings were out-of-the-box.

    Search and replace string did not include regex

    ex. Replace AND with XXXXXXXXXX

    Pretty simple

    My environment is Vista 64-bit, but I do not think that has anything to do with it since the other programs are 32-bit as well so some thunking should be taking place.

    Hi
    The size of the text file is around 26 Mb (around 119,000 lines). EmEditor settings are out-of-the-box. In all cases each editor I have tested is with the same file, window size etc,etc.
