Looking for line splitting software

hotrods20 · Commander **Joined**: 27 Jul 2009

I have a whole collection of downloaded text documents and such were the lines are not split.

Sort of like:
[line1][line2]
I have discovered it is a blank enter?
So it is [line1][flat character not visible to signify a new line][line2]
Is there software that could go through and replace it with a actual enter?

Or open the text document with the correct program (a good text editor like UltraEdit or Notepad++).
These understand all different types of linebreaks.

You most probably got a UNIX format text document which uses 0A (Linefeed) as the linebreak while all Windows based text documents use 0D0A (Carriage Return + Linefeed)

If it's broken in Notepad, I open it in Notepad++. Hasn't failed me yet.

The only editor that has the problem is Notepad (Which I use for almost all text documents). I guess I willl have to use Wordpad or NetBeans.

Bad:
Notepad - too simple. Can't do anything
Wordpad - messes up ini files by adding stupid text formatting. Like a poor Word with no functionality

OffTopic
NetBeans - IDE and platform for JAVA Applications (?Texteditor o.O?)

Good:
Notepad++ - Plugins allow great customization/enhancements like hex-editor, file compare, html parser etc
UltraEdit - very fast and reliable. Has inbuild hex-editor. Allows to show many formats of source code with it's specific text-highlighting.

Yes, Notepad++ FTW.

On another note, even Windows can act stupid to himself. On the other day I outputted a long string with "\n"s in it via MSVC#'s StreamWriter.WriteLine and it resulted with a sole 0A line ending at the place of \n. The Writeline ended with 0D0A tho.

So yes, it's better to forget MS NP and get NP++ for free and for all the stuff LKO mentioned. (NP++ also has source code highlighting, btw)

The RichTextBox works the same way.
Only via "\r\n" you get a full new line.

The TextWriter is iirc one where a single "\n" is enough though.

NetBeans is used for everything my friend. I made my website with it, I made Minecraft mods with it, and I edit simple and not so simple text files with it.
