Replace Null Characters?

[DougFMR]

Hi,
How do I replace null characters? I had to use another editor to replace HEX Value 0 (zero) characters. When I try to copy the character a window pops up telling me I am not allowed to copy a null character.

Yet it is possible.

Thanks.

It's a known issue, might even be in the help. I'm not awake enough to read now stupid warcraftbut I'm pretty sure I remember people having to use a hex editor to fiddle with \x00

In order to convert or delete null characters from a file, please implement the following procedure:


1. Open the Replace dialog box
2. Type "\x00" without the quotes into the "Find what" section
3. Type the required replacement into the "Replace with" section
4. Under the heading "Conditions", check "Text and Regular expression"
5. Ensure the curser is at the beginning of the document
6. Click Replace All

I hope this helps.
