Comment on A remote code execution vulnerability has been found in Microslop Notepad
dbtng@eviltoast.org 1 week agoThis is the first I’ve heard of EditPadLite. From a cursory examination of their site, it appears to be written with the same general design philosophy as Metapad, albeit not as low profile. I’ll give it a tentative thumbs up.
The EditPadLite download is 18mb. My copy of Metapad is 190k. Small and fast.

The only time it’s ever in the least bit slow to load is when it’s on a onedrive folder at work and Microsoft don’t cache it locally so there’s a delay getting the thing in the first place.
Does metapad have regex find and replace? If so, smaller and even faster is appealing.

The find and replace is based off of the Notepad interface.
It does support searching for newlines and such, but it doesn’t look like it does full regex.

Ah. I use regex replace every week with matching substrings a good few times a month. It’s not any slower to load than notepad and considerably less annoying.
