We are giving away three licenses for the editor UltraEdit and the comparison tool UltraCompare today in the Ghacks Christmas Giveaway.
UltraEdit is a text editor at its core and one could mistakenly think of it as yet another Notepad clone. While it still provides the speed of the default Windows text editor it comes with an impressive feature list that beats most – if not all – other text editors in Windows fair and square. Yes, that includes Notepad++ and the likes. That’s of course only true if you need the additional features that it provides. The feature list includes syntax highlighting, code folding, Unicode support, spell checking, ftp & sftp browser, ssh. macro engine, html building and customizations among others.
The editor provides professionals with the tools needed in their job. Webmasters and web designers who do use text editors and not a web designing software will find the features offered indispensable. UltraEdit provides syntax highlighting for web standards such as html, php, xml, javascript or css including a html file validator that checks if the code is W3C compliant. More than 500 wordfiles can be downloaded from the official homepage to add support for additional programming languages from Assembly languages to C++ and World of Warcraft Lua. The integrated ftp & sftp browser makes updating files on the Internet a breeze. Add to that a dockable SSH / Telnet window to access a remote server command line right from the editor.
Versioned backups ensure worry free editing as files can be backed up before changes are committed to them. A file comparison tool can be used to compare different versions of a file to highlight the differences.
Additional UltraEdit features include:
- Configure word wrap and tab settings for different file types
- Organize and access local or FTP files with projects.
- Hex, Unicode, Large Files support
- Integrated Scripting Engine
- Customize nearly every aspect of the editor
- WebSearch Toolbar (Wikipedia, PHP.net, MSDN..)
UltraCompare is a powerful file comparison tool that can compare files and folders with each other. Two or three binary and text files can be compared with each other at the same time and it is possible to merge the differences of the compared files. The folder mode supports both local and network directories and jar / zip file comparison. It also offers the means to merge the differences between compared directories.
The interface will display the text files that are compared visually highlighting the differences. Tabbed sessions allow to run multiple comparisons at the same time int he same window. The folder compare displays the folder structures next to each other using symbols and colors to highlight the differences.
Additional UltraCompare Features include:
- Differences navigation
- Multiple merge options
- Relational lines
- Isolate lines
- File Editing
- File Compare Profiles

I use notepad but would love the opportunity to use something else :)
notepad++
I use UE but have an old version, I would love to have the latest. I use Compare It! for file comparison.
Oh please please give it to me, I will use Ultraedit everyday!
UltraEdit is a great editor.
I used it long time ago, when it was very basic, compared to this version.
Now I use Notepad++, but if the fortune hits me, I’ll change my default editor.
Currently I use Notepad++ and WinMerge/TortoiseMerge for these, but I’d like to give Ultraedit a try!
EMEditor – was using Ultra Edit in the past
Notepad++ is my current choice but I would love to have UltraEdit
jEdit, psPad and winMerge
I’ve tried UltraEdit in the past (now I mostly use Notepad++); nice program. For file and
directory comparison I mostly use the liteware
ExamDiff.
Seems useful :>
+1 please
I have an old license that ran out years ago. I would love to get back up to date.
my key is 2yo and not the latest version…
I currently use Notepad++ to edit config files and webpages.
I plan to build a website soon, so I’d like to try UltraEdit for that.
Thanks
I currently use editplus, but it lacks diff capability. Ultracompare should be quite useful for me so please gimmeememememmeme
i wish i could win this
Currently using eclipse + phpeclipse + aptana. Like to try UltraEdit.
Notepad++ curently.
I currently use Notepad++ too.
Ultra Edit looks slick
I currently use PsPad and WinDiff
I currently use Notetab Light.
Good old notepad.
I use NotePad++ which is freeware. I would love to try Ultra Edit
I use examdif and notepad 2 for editing and comparison but I sure would appreciate a copy of ultra compare! Thanks!
Currently using EditPad Classic. Not using anything for “compare”, but probably should be!!
I use mostly in replacement of notepad, to do all of my little editing of various files…
I’ve had several recommdations for Notepad, but this sounds like it’s structured to do much more!
I would love a reg please.
I currently use Metapad.
Would love a copy of UltraEdit to bring my text editing to a much higher level with UltraEdit
I use Notepad++ but Ultraedit is very good.
I currently use PSPad, but it’ll be nice to try another editor.
At the moment i’m also using as mentioned before Notepad++ and its compare plugin.
But it would be great to win this bundle.
I love ultra edit, and have a need to do file comparisons. Ultra edit does this today, but the Ultra Compare tool looks interesting.
Came here specifically to look for a file comparison tool. It looks like the free compare tool may work but Ultra compare may be better.
currently use a number of different editing tools depending on the software I’m programming.
my note pad replacement is edit pad classic.
for large files I use SPFedit.
I guess I came to the site at just the right time.
I use GrigSoft CompareIt! for file comparisons and PSPad for most text editing, but I switched to these only after changing jobs and losing my UltraEdit license. I would love to get it back.
Thanks.
I’m using PSPad
Thanks.
I use jEdit, PSPad and Notepad++ for fun
Great editor
Mario
