Invisible characters

Post by lawrencemossdene_ »

When I try to compile source code I sometimes get a compile error that refers to a blank line or a line before a blank line. If I backspace to clear the blank line back to the last character of the previous line and then create a new blank line by two 'return' key operations, the code then compiles OK. There must be invisible characters present that confuse the compiler.

How do I get round this please?

Other than this problem I have been using TP for a couple of years and find it great.

Thanks for any help.

is it not possible to do a regular expression search and replace for the new line [\n]?

Or prehaps there is a control character there. If there is use the [[:cntrl:]] search and replace. :lol:
