Did I tell you about its search & replace? You can do all kind of replacements grace to the regular expressions and if you have hundreds (!) of open files, you can perform the search and/or replacements in all the documents, in an instant!

To conclude, Notepad++ is free and portable (you can use it on a usb stick, just copy it in any folder you want).
