Hi,
can anyone point me in the direction of a good free text editor? I need to look at some text files and see them in hex and such like to see if there are embedded control characters that shouldn't be there. I used to have a couple on my old laptop but lost them when I had a WIN7 replacement...

thanks

I like Notepad++. Notepad++ is definitely free, I use it at home.

I used TextPad at work but I'm not sure if that's free?

I use PSpad

I used to use TextPad which I do really love, but PSpad is free and nearly as good.
