Subject:Needs Text Editor (Left-to-Right) with Arabic Script

Hello,

Assume that we are handling Latin file (Left-to-Right oriented) that
includes a litteral with Arabic script like below:
       'ccm'                     Out<'سنتيمتراً',
                              L_1
                                           'مكعباً',
                                    L_2
                                           'سنتيمترات',
                                  L_3
                                           'مكعبة'>.
                                  L_4


If we have one line, the display in  Notepad (Windows)  is the following:

       'ccm'                  Out<'سنتيمتراً' ,'مكعباً' ,'سنتيمترات' ,'مكعبة'>.
                                        L_4     L_3     L_2      L_1

But I would like to have the following display :

       'ccm'                  Out<'مكعبة' ,'سنتيمترات' ,'مكعباً' ,'سنتيمتراً'>.
                                          L_1    L_2    L_3       L_4


Do you know a good Text Editor for plain text ?

A Text Editor with the following  features :
       - that handles cleanly deal file with mixed script: Latin file
that include Arabic script.
       - that has advanced functionality (regular expression, column
mode, ...) such as UltraEdit  or similar.



Thanks,

Alexis Neme
