Editor with UTF-8 & Search&Replace >100docs supp.

Red Nalie

Hello my dear Gentoo friends,

A friend of mine (Windows user) is willing to switch platform, if I can find him an editor which supports Search&Replace in over a 100docs, and supports UTF-8.
First I thought of Quanta, but Quanta can only S&R in 1doc at a time, so I decided to call in the help of you guys.

Who can find me an editor which does what he wants

.

Yeah, like you're gonna read this after 1.5 years

, but for the record:

Vim can do that, if you compile it and the libs it depends on with utf-8 support (just add 'unicode' to the USE params in /etc/make.conf).
Do this on the command-line:

JEdit can do multiple file search and replace, although I don't know if it only supports a certain number of files.

On windows, I use TextPad, which is absolutely wonderful. Emacs is wonderful in it's own way, but I often find myself wishing for TextPad on gnu/Linux.
