Looking for Text Masking Logic in N++

Thomas Knoefel

Hi, I’m on the hunt to understand how Notepad++ masks text before copying it into config.xml. Especially for Find and Replace, there can be special characters like line breaks, tabs, etc. These will be masked by 
 etc.

I want to understand how Notepad++ does this, especially which characters it looks for in these types of text. I was digging through the code but ultimately couldn’t find the function responsible for this. My only guess is that reinterpret_cast might be involved, but I was not able to locate the code for that.

I guess others might have a better idea where the magic happen.

I’m not sure, but I assume you are looking for TinyXML.

Yes, this was the part i was looking for. PutString is translating the special characters. This helps me a lot! Thanks!
