      Hello!

      I am having an issue with my Notepad++.
      I have a file that has the tilde (~) symbol as a column separator within a text file, but my Notepad++ for some reason changes the ~ symbol into a line feed when I load the file into my Notepad++.
      So it goes from this:

      Jon~Smith~01/01/1969~M~

      To this:

      Jon
      Smith
      01/01/1969
      M

      I am wondering if someone can help me out and let me know if there is something within my settings that I need to change or whatever fix there is to get this file to display correctly.

      Thanks!!

          Hi!
          I unfortunately can’t post a file.
          The line that I have listed in my post is the closest example I can provide.

          Thanks!

            the reason why asking for the file is because I assume that it
            isn’t an ascii tilde but something else.
            Why do you assume it must be a tilde?
            Because some other app is showing it like that?
            Can you create such a file with this app and upload it?

            Cheers
