Notepad in win7 64

[sotiris 1]

Hi,

 

I don't know if someone else has noticed and possibly solved a minor issue with Notepad in win7 64.

It's something that did not happen in winXP SP3, I used before.

In Flightplans.txt with Word wrap selected like in previous OS, the flightplans line is depicted in a weird way like this:

 

AC#3,5N-

If word wrap is deselected, then this stops showing, but, to me, is rather inconvenient. Why on Earth this happens ?

Is there any workaround for this ?

As correcting all my 870 traffic files does not seem feasible.

I seem to remember noticing this when I first switched to Win7. 

 

No idea why it does it but don't let it bother you, it does not affect how a .bgl creator handles the file.

You could always buy a real text editor like UltraEdit or get a free one like Notepad++. Both will provide better editing facilities than Notepad.

I know that getting another txt editor is an option.

My query is whether I can solve the minor issue or not.

[ubersu 78]

When I put your first line into Notepad with wordwrap, I see proper condensed line with the exception of the first line which is:

 

AC#400,C-

 

This is because this version of Notepad treats the dash character as a carriage return+line feed. If there is no dash then the display is correct.  There is no way to fix it.

OK, thanks DJ.
