ok got it. regular expression needed to be checked in the find and replace dialog box.

issue is resolved.

thanks!

ok. thanks for telling me that it can be done. I am interested in knowing how it can be done.

i don't have any other apps open, I have an i5 sandybridge quadcore CPU with 16GB of mem. i don't think it is a resource issue.

thanks!

i've opened in HEX mode and it looks like 00 is what i need to remove. i then opened the file in normal text mode and did a find for hex 00. it has 00 identified all over the place and if I do a replace-all with a space, it locks up textpad.

i checked the text font and it is set to courior new on ...

i'm lost here. its an ascii character and doesn't show up and sometimes the characters are different depending on the file and the way that the OSB file was generator from our data collecting machines.

if I can't see it and can't copy it, how I am going to find and replace it?

i can't see the characters at all, so I'm not sure where to do a replace?

i need to be able to see the characters and it seems that I can't see them when the software is installed on a Windows 7 computer.

hello,

textpad 6 on a windows 7 is behaving differently from textpad installed on windows xp.

i have an .OBS survey files that has characters in the file that are null and we can see then in windows xp and can overwrite them. textpad on windows 7, we can't see the characters, so we don't know ...
