Abstract of Notepad Project in Java
This editor is a simple editor, very similar to that of a notepad editor that extends the
basic features to the end-user like:
File open – User can either open the files already existing in the system or open
a new blank file.
Files save - one can save the file in any desired format like-.txt, .doc, .java etc.
The file is stored in the location specified by the user.
Cut-Copy-Paste – This editor also lets the user cut-copy-paste the edited text.
Undo – The user is allowed to undo the text edited. This feature allows letter by
letter undo.
Find text – The user can search through the entire document edited using this
feature to locate the specified word(s). This is a search feature of the editor. The
user can find if the specified word is repeated in the document again using the
‘Find Next’ feature.
Font – This feature extends the user to change the font style of the edited text.
Word wrap – Word wrap is used to wrap the text within the area which is visible
to the user. If the word wrap selection is off, then the horizontal scroll-bar
becomes active and the user will continue to write text in the same line until a
new line entry is specified using the ‘enter’ key on the keyboard. With word-wrap
feature, the user doesn’t have to explicitly key in the ‘enter’ button on the
keyboard, as the cursor identifies the last column of the editor (visible to the user)
and automatically points the cursor to the next line. In short, it wraps the text to
the user such that they are able to see all the text without having to scroll
horizontally.
Time/Date – When this option is chosen from the edit menu, it prints the current
time/date on the editor. Therefore, the user can use this feature to keep a record
of the date and time on which the file was created or last edited.
Friendly easy to use interface – This notepad editor is easy to use, just like any other
text editor (MS Word, Notepad etc)
