One is the ability to search defined folders and files. including subdirs for certain text, then open one or more of the located files. I often search *.recipe files in the resource directory for "keep_only" or "parse_index," etc, to see how other working recipes used those commands.

The second feature is having multiple files open for editing. I keep my recipe, my batch file for executing my recipe and my output error file all open.

The last feature is the ability to execute a batch file with a single keystroke. I have the batch file for executing the recipe connected to that key.

Modify recipe, save it, hit execute, read errors in error file, rinse and repeat.

I believe notepad++ is free and will do some of the above.
I have ultraedit, could you enlighten me on the batch file you use for executing your recipes. I see where that would be very useful. And output error file. Does utraedit automatically update the changed content or do you have to reopen it again ?
