Think of the flexibility of software functions from ultraedit

In the afternoon, my colleagues will sort an Excel table. The first sorting column A is a combination of Chinese characters and numbers, and the second sorting Column B is a date. When sorting is required, column A only uses Chinese characters and numbers cannot be considered. This can make it difficult for colleagues. If you manually remove all the numbers in column A, you have to be tired. Later, I suggested that he copy column A to ultraedit and replace it with the regular expression of ultraedit. All the numbers will be wiped out at once. This simple and efficient method makes my colleagues even more admired ultraedit.
Ultraedit is currently the most powerful tool for text editing, and its operations on "strings" are superb and exclusive. The flexibility of software functions, coupled with the endless imagination of users, can play a very powerful role. Sometimes the work that users do with such software may be unexpected by software developers. Our company developed a professional Drawing Software for the oil industry. After it was used to users, they turned out to be creative and did a very complex job that required large software. This was unexpected.
The software functional flexibility reflected in these two events should be the goal that developers should pursue as much as possible. Of course, from the perspective of enterprise development costs, software is only enough, although this often cannot be achieved.
