Text Editor Project

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 Java software project. This Text Editor software is simple to use and its source code is easy to understand. Modifications can be done wherever necessary.
