    Question Free Text Editor wanted that...

    Hi,

    Does anyone of you know of a free text editor (Windows based) software that lets one sort words/lines by length? Potentially for 100,000+ lines/words. Or does anyone have a Macro for Word for me that does the trick? I downloaded 'NotePad SX' that allows for sorting like that, but it can't handle the huge TXT files I am trying to import/open.

    Thanks in advance,
    Rob

    Re: Free Text Editor wanted that...

    Anyone?

    I got some suggestions, but all those recommended software progs seem to be capable of is sorting words/lines alphabetically, but that's not what I need, I need the text to be sorted by word/line length.
    On one of the other forums, someone recommended a database progam rather than a text editor for this, but that too would have to be a free one preferably plus I am not sure how easy I could sort text by line length in it, as I am not familiar with databases and how to build 'em/manage them, and I am not really interested in a steep learning curve for something as (I'd think?) simple as sorting words/lines by length?

    Anyone?

    Re: Free Text Editor wanted that...

    Hey, that's cool, works like a charm for shorter lists. Still not for huge lists of, say, 100,000 words/lines or so, but thanks, I do find it useful!


    Best,

    no prob. give me a few days to speed it up, I"ll have to look up how to do quicksort
    then larger lists should work too.

    Re: Free Text Editor wanted that...

    Thanks, but from what I can tell none of those offer sorting by word/line length. That's the problem with most of these (free) text editors.. That's why I am asking for specific solutions, i.e. ones that people can recommend themselves because they know for sure the software offers what I need.

    finally did some mods to the sort program, it sorted 10,000 domains in 1 minute and now it can group by extension. Should work on your BIG name lists!

    Thanks, I appreciate you looking into this more.
    However, it does not work for me; neither the sorting by length, nor by extension (great feature, btw!).
    First I thought maybe it was a browser-settings thing, but your previous of the script works just fine (as long as not too much text has to be sorted) but no results at all for me with your new version, be it with just a few words to be sorted, or tons of them.

    Best,
    Rob

    What browser are you using? Been tested in IE.

    Re: Free Text Editor wanted that...

    Yeah, I use IE6.

    I had noticed, you 'sorting page' is at FreeWebs.com. FreeWebs shows as a 'restricted site' in my browser's Internet Options 'Security' tab. I then deleted FreeWebs from the list of restricted sites, but that didn't solve my problem. So I then saved the sorting page to my HD and opened that version in my browser, and then it works fine for me. THANKS!!

    I'll now go ahead and try it with huge lists and will report back here.

    Best,
    Rob

    Try this one, works well as long as all the lines are fairly short, should handle a large file if you run it overnight.
