Option to hide nuls and other non-text
-
Would be nice if there is an option to view (read only?) a file with nuls and other non-text hidden.

Notepad++ is a text editor, and, as such, doesn’t deal with non-text files all that well. And that’s what you’re really talking about: non-text files. So while I somewhat understand what you are asking for, my response is to say “don’t do it”. Perhaps others have different viewpoints.

Helo, @victoronrust and all,
A possible work-around would be to delete, TEMPORALLY, any character, displayed in inverse video, but the normal line endings :
-
Open the Replace dialog (
Ctrl + H)-
SEARCH
(?!\r|\n)[\x00-\x1F\x80-\x9F\x{2028}\x{2029}] -
REPLACE
Leave EMPTY -
Tick the
Wrap aroundoption -
Select the
Regular expressionsearch mode -
Click on the
Replace Allbutton
-
-
Press the
Esckey to close the Replace dialog
Once, you thoroughly studied your file contents, just do a
Ctrl + Zaction to get the initial text ;-))Best Regards,
