Sort TextFX - error Nul characters
-
I have a huge file txt 402 MB - Line Number 5846865. When I’m trying to sort it using Notepad++/TextFX it returns error: This tool is not compatible with binary text. Please select text without [NUL] characters…
Thank you .

Sorry but what do you want us to do?
Giving an advise how to sort binary data?
Or find a way to remove the NUL chars so that you are able to do the sort with textfx?
Or something else?Cheers

Hopefully Notepad can improve TextFX sorting of Chinese UTF-8 UTF-16 UTF-16 text files.
Thank you

afaik, TextFX is not maintained by npp developers and the original author hasn’t been
updated since nearly 10 years or so, so I don’t think that you do get any updates on it.What about using the npp native functions? Menu Edit->Line operations.
Don’t these work?Cheers

Hello Cheers, I have tried Line operations., but my file is “bad allocation” as shown in the picture

oopps - looks like ~6 million lines (or mabye 420 megabytes) is a little but to much.
Could you give it a try with a smaller file?
Maybe even checkout if it is sorting correctly with just a few lines of your unicode strings.Cheers

If I split the big file into two small files then the Line works very well. Hope one day that Notepad early days improve better in the future. Thank Cheers.
