You don't mention what platform you're working on, but who cares? The only editor you'll ever need is gvim. Available for just about any platform and looks and works the same on *nix and Windows (never tried the Mac version). It has: line counts, colour syntax highlighting for everything from Ada to zsh (via php and MySQL), and auto-indentation for many languages. It's either easy to use out of the crate or massively configurable (can run its own scripts and macros). Most of the "for sale but cheap" editors are attempts to emulate gvim which is Gpled charityware (Help Uganda!). Magic. I could live without it, but I probably wouldn't write any code. You need to download (I'm guessing you're using Windows?) (say) gvim 5.7 and the vim 5.7 rt (run time libraries) from the pc directory of ftp.vim.org. Happy coding and help Uganda. -- ****************************************************************************** Marx: "Why do Anarchists only drink herbal tea?"
