CIP Notepad v2.5.5
Text, logs and
structured files.
A dependable desktop editor for analysis and editing — from a quick note to a large log, CSV table or configuration file.
What it does
More than a simple editor.
Search & bookmarks
Highlight several keywords, move through matches, save useful lines as bookmarks and keep notes or exportable bookmark sessions.
CSV & structured data
Open CSV and TSV in text or editable table view. Format JSON, edit Office Scripts and use syntax highlighting for Python and TypeScript.
Compare & merge
Compare another file with synchronized scrolling and merge files using remembered headers and spacing options.
Serial & value tools
Use Serial Terminal with profiles, live receive and output saving. Convert number bases, text, hex, IP and binary values.
Safe workflow
Multi-file tabs, auto-reload for live logs, recovery after a close, pinned files/folders and Light or Dark themes.
In more detail
A workflow for real files.
Supported files
Work with TXT, LOG, MD, CSV, TSV, CFG, INI, CONF, JSON, XML, YAML, Office Scripts, Windows scripts, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, web files, SQL, TOML, ENV, REG and INF files.
Search and highlights
Highlight comma-separated keywords, move through every match and keep manually selected highlights visible with your chosen colors.
Bookmarks that stay useful
Create bookmarks from lines, selections or Find in Folder results. Add notes, sort, edit, import/export sessions and begin a new session without closing the app.
CSV, JSON and scripts
Use an editable CSV/TSV table with row and column editing, copy/paste, column rename and export. Format JSON and edit Office Script code safely.
Folders, tabs and recovery
Open one file or index a full folder tree. Pin files and folders, work across tabs with dirty indicators and recover unsaved work after an unexpected close.
Serial and conversion tools
Serial Terminal offers port selection, live receive, send, timestamps and profiles. Value Converter handles number bases, text, hex, IP and binary values.
Your files, your control
Designed for careful editing and practical analysis.
Keep backups before large delete, filter or overwrite operations. CIP Notepad gives you the tools; you keep control of the final save.
