modifying, deleting, searching, saving clear texts and finding texts
within the editor.
The source codes and project files of
the proposed Text Editor can be accessed from the download links in the

Text Editor Project Abstract:
Text editors are the most commonly used
software for writing documentation, plain texts and project source
codes. Notepad, Wordpad, etc. are some of the popular text editor tools
with various features and options. During project design, development
and implementation, text editors play an important role.
Each text editor has unique features and
options of its own. Some (old text editors) support just plain text
while others (new text editors) support advanced features such as adding
images, files, links, and many more.
This proposed Text Editor is a simple
software with minimum features. More modules and features can be added
in the project to make it more advanced. The features of this text
editor can be outlined as:
- Create new documents or text files
- Open existing documents or text files
- Save and Save as options
- Saving files/documents in different formats
- Copy, Cut and Paste file in different location
- Insert words
- Find and replace text within the document
- Select directory while saving the document
After opening the text editor software,
we can enter data or type using any keyboard. Editing of existing
document can also be done by opening a file (that supports the text
editor) from the directory. Save and save as features can be found in
the Menu option. Directory should be selected to save the file; if not
selected, the file/document will be saved in default directory.
This text editor application is just a
simple software with minimum functions and features aforementioned.
Students can and are encouraged to add new features or modules in this
VB.NET software project. This Text Editor software is simple to use and
its source code is easy to understand. Modifications can be done
wherever necessary.
