#Pspad editor how to
I’ll explain how to do the following with PSPad: PSPad works with text files, such as those ending in TXT or CSV, or any text-based file (like an ini file).
Are you interested yet? It is also a great file diff/compare tool I’ve ever seen. It can also handle a million lines of text–literally. PSPad is a great text editor and search tool, so by default, it’s a great audit tool, and it’s free.
