Recommended editor for backups

I'm going to be taking a backup of 1 fortinet and then doing a LOT of massaging of the .conf file to restore to a different fortinet.  I'm wondering if anyone has used some kind of .conf "editor" program.  Something with a little bit more 'oomph' to do things than Notepad++.  I'm thinking features like being able to "collapse" a section without having to highlight the whole section and then hit 'hide'.  Back in the day when I used to write ColdFusion I used DreamWeaver to edit the code and it had features like that which it could parse for ColdFusion code. Has anyone used a code editor like this when modifying .conf files for fortinets?

There is a language package of FortiOS in notepad++, it can be found in this article. I hope it helps.

Awesome!  Which is better though the one from DPBarbosa or the one by SSavaso?  Looks like SSavaso is about a year newer than DPBarbosa.

You can try both, I think I'm using the first one.
