Talk Fantasy Football

I did a search for this but didn't find anything. If there's already a topic out there, just point me towards it.

I tried editing a team .html file in MS Word, but quickly found out that Word changes the file after saving it. It adds a lot of crap in the beginning of the file (and possibly elsewhere), making the file unreadable by JavaBBowl. None of the other programs I have have allowed me to successfuly edit the files, so if any other Mac users out there have edited a team file, could you let me know what program you used? Thanks.

Yay! Another refugee from the Wintel Zombies!

The best thing you can get for your mac no matter what you do is get BBEdit. If you (or a close friend) has an academic ID, you can get it reasonably cheap. It is quite simply the world's greatest text editor (as opposed to the world's most bloated Word processor). I use it for a whole lot more than I can put in a single post under Massachusetts law.

The older, free version is still available as well. Even better.

Lesson to you all? Never use Word, given a choice.

{edit: Barebones Software apparently dropped BBEdit Lite to make another free editor, Textwrangler. I haven't used it myself, but I'd try that first, for the extra features. It sounds like a similar, more updated and supported version of the same thing, with a different name.}

don't you have the goodness of notepad on macs?

Well, yeah... Textedit... but trust me. Get yerself BBEdit Lite or (maybe?) Textwrangler. Way better.

Hmm. I saw TextWrangler the other day... didn't even think to pick it up. I'll give it a try.

I'm using OSX, and there's no SimpleText. TextEdit opens up the file, but shows the frames of the html and isn't editable. I'll let you know how TextWrangler goes.

BBEdit mate, that's your best bet. Even if you just get the "lite" version.
