I need some recommendations for some good text editing software... I want color coding for as many languages as possible... I like BBedit but am on a windows system and I like SciTE|Flash but want something that allows for more languages...

any thoughts?
 
Two to meantion
Editplus (EditPlus is an Internet-ready 32-bit text editor, HTML editor and programmers editor for Windows. While it can serve as a good replacement for Notepad, it also offers many powerful features for Web page authors and programmers.

conTEXT (ConTEXT is a small, fast and powerful text editor, developed mainly to serve as secondary tool for software developers. After years and years searching for suitable Windows text editor, I haven't found any of them to completely satisfy my needs, so I wrote my own.

Both of these editors allow for syntax templates to be downloaded and added, so if it don't highlight MYSQL files, i just get a syntax files for it at the relivant site.

Hope these help

This thread might help you, It's in the ASP forum, but most of the text editors mentioned will support multiple languages

I use TextPad for ALL my scripting. I had a programmer friend recommend it to me, and I was thrilled. I then went on to recommend it to other programmers, and they were thrilled. You can get a free trial (that never expires) from They also have numerous add-on downloads, including color-coding scripts for additional languages.
