Using an external text editor to edit VBA code

gvimnotepadsublime-text-2vba

I have inherited a lot of VBA code to maintain and so far I am using the VBE. Sometimes is quite hard to do some tasks, like advanced text search, so usually I export the module, edit the content with vim and import the modified module to test the code.

This can get a little messy and boring. I know that VBE can be COM automated, so I was thinking if there is a way (like a plugin or a script) to use an external Text Editor (vim, notepad++ or sublime text) to write VBA code and then refresh it automatically in the VBE

Thanks in advance

AkelPad has VB scripts enabled, so try to ask at Akelpad site about it. Also PSPad has.
