ZZJ QuickEditor is a utility that enables you to conduct search-and-replace operations within text documents. It supports regular expressions and can run in JavaScript compatibility mode.

No setup required, besides .NET Framework

The downloaded package includes the source code for programmers. It's not wrapped in a setup kit, so you can save the files to a custom directory on the disk or store the on a USB flash drive, in order to directly launch it on any machine by double-clicking the .exe.
