First thing’s first, if you’re not a programmer of some sort (web developer, software developer, etc) you probably don’t need this program and you will find this review very boring and useless – you’ll end this trying to figure out what the heck you just read. If that last statement does not apply to you, then you’ve come to the right place and you’ll find this application to be extremely useful, especially if you handle files that tend to become very large in size as one of the killer features of this program is its ability to handle large file sizes.
PilotEdit is a professional and well developed file editor that can edit large files. In fact, there is absolutely no limit to the file size of the file in which you wish to edit. If you have a 400 GB file and/or billions of lines of code, no problem, PilotEdit can handle it. You can also compare, edit side-by-side/ cascaded, and/or merge large files together as well without as much as a hiccup in the application. Just make sure that your computer is capable of handling the data - wouldn’t want you precious cpu to explode now would we? It probably wouldn’t explode, but anything’s possible.
PilotEdit is great for developers because it has what every developer can appreciate, syntax highlighting. With support for over 20 kinds of file types and languages, PilotEdit easily places itself in my category as one of the top development tools available on the market. Unicode files and DOS/UNIX files are fully supported in the application and it can also automatically detect text file encoding. You can change the encoding of multiple files from one type of encoding to another easily and PilotEdit will “automatically adjust text encoding when you copy or paste between files that have different encoding.” Neat right? – I thought so too.
Working with encryption? PilotEdit has support for that too! With 256-bit AES encryption, PilotEdit is an excellent encryption software. In the application, you can encrypt and decrypt multiple directories and files with file sizes that reach more than 4G. Edit files transparently and the save the active file regularly or as an FTP file.
One of my favorite features of PilotEdit – not to down play large file size handling, syntax highlighting, or any other feature for that matter – is the find and remove duplicate lines feature. PilotEdit can find duplicate lines in files larger than 1GB and remove those lines from the file. Lines can be compared as text or integer and compared over one column.
Whew! I don’t know about you but this all excites me. PilotEdit is truly one of the best professional file editors on the market right now. I strongly urge you, if you’ve read this far down in the review, to go ahead and give PilotEdit a try. There’s nothing you have to lose, except duplicate lines in your code of course or unsorted lines – PilotEdit can also sort lines in files larger than 1GB.
