What are the system requirements for running Notepad ?

What are the system requirements for running Notepad ?

Notepad runs smoothly in lower configurations and is suitable for daily text editing. It officially supports Windows systems only, and is recommended to use Windows 7SP1 and above, and is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit systems; old versions such as XP or Vista can be tried with old versions but there are risks. It is recommended to configure the minimum configuration of 1GHz CPU, 1GB of memory (the basic configuration is 512MB) and 10MB of storage space. Performance is good when handling large files or multi-labels, but plugins may increase resource usage. It is recommended to clean the plug-in regularly or turn off the autoloading feature to optimize performance. The portable version is easy to switch between multiple devices.

Does Notepad support regular expressions for search and replace? (No, but how can I achieve similar functionality?)

Notepad does not support regular expressions. If you need to use it, you can take the following methods: 1. Use Notepad (recommended): After downloading and installing, press Ctrl H to open the replacement dialog box and select the "regular expression" mode; 2. Try online tools such as RegExr or OnlineRegExTester for no installation operations; 3. If you can only use the default Notepad, you can use multiple basic searches to replace some of the simulated functions, but the effect is limited. Therefore, it is recommended to use more professional tools when encountering structured text editing to improve efficiency.

Is it safe to open files from untrusted sources in Notepad?

Is it safe to open files from untrusted sources in Notepad?

Yes, using Notepad to open untrusted files is usually safer than in other programs, but there are still risks. While Notepad doesn't execute code automatically or render complex formats, some file contents can still cause problems. For example: 1. The script files (such as .bat, .sh, .ps1) themselves will not cause harm due to opening, but running their content will pose a threat; 2. Configuration or data files (such as .ini, .json, .csv) are usually safe to view, but may contain malicious links or commands that induce copy and paste; 3. Some executable files disguised as text files (such as renamed .exe) may trick the user into clicking to run. In addition, copying and pasting unknown commands to the terminal can also introduce malicious behavior. To prevent risks,
