Try TextPad ( http://www.textpad.com/ ), or my current favorite, EditPlus (
http://editplus.com/ ). Both are shareware and both do autorecognition of
end-of-line conventions and will by default save a text file in the eol
format it was opened in (or convert to another if you want). They both have
reasonable regexp functionality (TextPad is a bit more complete there at the
moment) and other features that make source code look a lot better (EditPlus
also lets you easily create custom syntax colorization macros - very simple,
but kinda neat).
