 Hey, what is going on guys? Rourden out here come back at you with some more batch tutorials now in this video We're gonna be taking a look at notepad which is kind of really weird to say But we do if we're gonna be trying to create our own batch scripts and our own programs that we can run inside the window Shell we need to have a pretty decent text editor now in the last video. I use notepad because it's real simple It's always installed in most Windows systems And it's just kind of there. I was able to use it and made things really easy But if you were looking at this from a programmer and like a designer developer standpoint You can easily tell that notepad just kind of sucks There's no color or syntax highlighting. There aren't any line numbers It saves everything in plain text format. That's awesome. It's what we need But it doesn't really have any of the nice auto completion for us It doesn't have a smart indenting and that sort of thing So we need we need to be able to get ourselves a new text editor And in this case, I want to show you guys what I'm gonna be using throughout this whole series and and I can This is notepad plus plus So I'm to get Firefox started, which is my web browser You guys can obviously be using whatever you'd like. Maybe it'd be Google Chrome. Maybe Internet Explorer But when you're at Google Whether you're at the Firefox home page or whether you're using your toolbar It doesn't matter as long as you're gonna be using your search engine You can go ahead and type in let's say Notepad plus plus and that'll take you right to that home page Now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna hit the download thing right here The web page may have changed by the time you actually watch this series and get to do your thing But hey for my case really it's just simple enough to look for the download button download page And it'll take you to what we need now If we select the notepad 6.1.2 installer, which looks to be the Latest version in fact it says right here. It's the current version now This is the install it's gonna keep things really easy for us. We don't need any zip files or anything in the archives We don't need the source code. We just want the program. So I'm gonna go ahead and save this and that we can click on this and run it and Just follow all the steps like you normally would when you're installing any program Go ahead and click through it and greet everything and saw it where you need to Saw it where you need to you can decide whether or not you want to keep these environment variables used And now that you guys know about these environment variables You might have a little bit more Understanding and be able to make a little bit more sense out of what they're saying here You can create a shortcut you can use that sort of thing and you can do whatever you'd like obviously Go ahead and install it and then run it when you need to and boom now you've got a They've got a nice new text editor that shows line numbers and a whole lot of other fancy things You can have multiple files open. You can see the line and everything you can see the character encoding Whether you're on insert or overwrite mode how many lines you have and this is overall just a whole whole better A very much better anyway a new a better text editor for you guys And that's what I'm gonna be using to write all these batch scripts and code for this series And I hope you guys do the same if all around Linux or running a different operating system I would recommend some other things like blue fish, which I actually do have installed but I Don't really think you guys are up for that because that might be a little bit more of a different and more complex install process but hey All you guys really have to worry about is notepad plus plus plus notepad plus plus plus plus and yeah We I've already got a shortcut and everything created for that so we can go ahead and create some scripts with this real soon And I hope to see you guys in the next tutorial.
