Find results window - lines truncated on NULL character
-
Hi,
When I do a Search->Find… command and then select Find All in Current Document, lines in the Find result pane are truncated after NULL-characters. The pane does show other non-printable characters perfectly, it just truncates them on the first NULL-character it encounters.
Is there a way to have the Find result pane show the complete line? Or is this a missing feature or even a bug?Ramon

I don’t think it is a missing feature or bug per se. Notepad++ is a text editor and “null characters” don’t really qualify as text characters.

@Alan-Kilborn True, but it does handle other non printable characters perfectly, as does the editor itself. It would be perfectly fine if it just replaced them with a space character just as the Copy command does to the clipboard. The application would become even more powerfull if it was able to show lines with null characters in the find result.

I suppose you could make a feature request.

@Alan-Kilborn Thanks for the suggestion. I just requested the feature on the GitHub page.
