      I am a NotePad++ user for a only a few months. I was able to Find commas and Replace with nothing using the Find/Replace box last week. Now Replace will delete the comma but shift rest of data line 3 spaces to the right. Here is my line of data.
      15,00001,80287591,X,

      I could not copy and paste the Find/Replace box into here, but here are the main options:
      Find what: ,
      Replace with:
      Wrap around is checked.
      Search Mode is Normal.

      Here is my line of data after having Replaced the comma:
      15 00001,80287591,X,

      I want it to look like:
      1500001,80287591,X,

      Can anyone please help as I can not figure out what I may have done to cause this?

        Perhaps your “empty” replace with box contains some spaces?

          Jim, That was it. Thank you much. Since I was replacing with nothing, I could not see the spaces and thought perhaps I had messed up some option. I am good to go.

                I clicked on the ^ symbol and it changed the number by it from 0 to 1. I hope that was the correct way to upvote your answer. This is my first visit to this site and apologize for being such a novice.
