-Find&Replace -Rename files/folders alongside your finding and replacing! -Plain text, make case-sensitive -RegularExpressions, 'Insert Pattern' style tokens. -Customizable highlighting colors for both general matches in a file, and specific instances you're examining at the moment. -Intelligent Parsing analyzes your files and detects patterns in them, allowing you to see what the two files are missing from each other, or what are different, so you can drag a block of code over to the desired file instantly, if you have a large enum, and a specific element you like in an alternate implementation you can instantly carry that over flawlessly. The search regular expressions features a user friendly TextEdit style, ("Insert Pattern") as well as advanced, called Tokens & Regex, Respectively., Between lets you set specific anchors, replace the anchors themselves with something else, and even extract that section to a new file. The log truncation capabilities of 'collapse' is also very valuable, run it to clean up a file with a bunch of noise, A log or something else repeating many times can be an important bit of information, however you don't need the log to physically be 10x the size when you can replace with something like "$1\nThis error is repeated $count times" and it beautifully shrinks your log or file by taking out that repeated text!
