ASCII 127s do not display if they follow Zero character
Posted: Thu Mar 06, 2008 4:34 pm
This occurs when using TextPad version 5.1.0, opening a text file with the file format set to Auto and the encoding set to Default:
When viewing a text file containing ASCII 127s, any 127 character following an ASCII 0 (char code 48, not NULL code 0) is not displayed. Actually, any number of 127s will not be displayed. For example the text:
test<127><127><127>123
will display the string "test", three small boxes, then the characters 123.
The text:
test0<127><127><127>123
will display:
test0123
If the cursor is placed on the line and the right arrow key is pressed, the cursor will be able to move three characters past the '3' character before reaching the end of line.
