Unable to see Data in the Notepad++
-
I am able to open the notepad++ and i am able to see that i can type or open new files but i am unable to see the data.
I tried all the settings and options in the notepad++ but still can not figure it out.
Is any one else having similar issue? any help would be appreciated.

What do you mean by
see the data
? Could you provide an example of some steps you followed, what you expected to happen, and what actually happened? -
@Satya-Sriharsha-Buddha I’m wondering if you want to see the underlying structure of a file. There is a plugin available for Notepad++ called Hex-Editor that may be what you are seeking.
To activate the hex editor
- Select
Plugins / Plugins Admin
from the menus. - Type
hex
in Plugins Admin’s search field. - Click empty checkbox to the left of the line for Hex-Editor to enable the checkbox and then click the
Install
button in the upper-right corner of Plugins Admin. - The new plugin will be downloaded and installed. This causes Notepad++ to exit and restart itself.
- Hex-Editor is now available under the Plugins menu.
You can now toggle hex editor mode on/off for a file by using
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+H
on the keyboard. - Select
