I just switched over to a mac but ow I am having trouble finding a editor for mac. If any of you use notepad++ you know how much easier it can make everything. Does anybody know anything like that for mac? The main features I want are the syntax highlighting and line numbering.

coda is popular on the mac although I believe it needs to be purchased unlike notepad++.

textmate is another good alternative.

Coda: http://www.panic.com/coda/

Netbeans: http://netbeans.org/index.html (free)

Before I download either of them do they have the features I stated above, thanks btw

All IDE's will have line numbering and code highlighting, any worth a dime anyway.

To the best of my knowledge they all do however they should mention in the features list on the sites.

It would be best to have a read of anything you intend to download before you do regardless

Man I am having trouble installing netbeans because I am not used to doing so on a mac

Im afraid I cant help you there, not used a mac in ages

Yeah I am failin at downloading netbeans. Does anybody have any other free editros I can try?

Sorry for double post but after some googling I have found one. It is called komodo edit and it has everything I stated above. Thanks PhunkRabbit for the help.

Do you wish your scripts into exisitance? Since you dont use an IDE?
