Toolbox

I thought I’d share a list of tools and utilities that I use. I’ll try and keep it up to date but no promises…

Text Editing

Tool	Description	License / Cost
Notepad++	This is my preferred notepad replacement text editor. It supports multiple tabs and has a number of other useful features including line numbers and syntax highlighting for a number of different languages such as PowerShell, SQL etc.	Free (GPL License)
WinMerge	I don't use this often but when I do it is invaluable. WinMerge allows you to compare two text files side-by-side and highlights sections that it believes are different. Differences can be copied from one file to the other with the click of a button. It also integrates with Explorer to add context menu entries.	Free (GPL License)
