Problem with nulls in text view

Post by EeOe »

Hello

Compare It! has problems with viewing files that has nulls in text view mode.
This test.txt file should have one continuous line and one empty line, but in Compare It! the line is breaked into two lines and there's also empty lines after it.

no surprise here - there shouldn't be any 0s in text file, if it's not unicode. But I will mark this down and try to fix. Thank you for report!

Ok thanks. I do understand that there noramaly shouldn't be zeros in text file, but comparing some files with binary viewer just doesn't work. E.g. The test file was originally a binary log file that was mostly text with zeros just separate sections.

Have you ever considered displaying ASCII control characters like scintilla edit component (E.g. Notepad++ uses it) does?
