Can we search if any text is replaced in particular NOTEPAD or NOTEPAD++ file ?
-
Suppose there is one file in a NOTEPAD or NOTEPAD++ in which somebody has used “Find and Replace” (Ctrl +H) command to change few texts to replace. The same file is sent to me by that user.
Now, is there any way that I can check if the same file has the text replaced by using “find and replace” command?
Please advise.

Short answer, no!
As a text file does not store any additional meta data it has no ability to report on any changes made on it. Even the date of the file does not prove anything.
You would need the original file to compare, but even then it would not identify how data was changed (the process involved), just that there is a difference in data.
