    I work in a Agency, I work a lot with RedDot Content Managment System = CMS.
    When I export Files form them, its Coded in Unicode.
    The windows notepad can read it without to show

    <NUL!NUL-NULiNULo....

    How I can N++ make to read the files correctly.
    I like N++. Its my favorit editor for java html xml xhtml c++ c#.
    I would edit the unicode file in N++, Can you help me ?

    I'm German, sorry for my very bad english. I hope you can read it.

      Hello,

      what is your problem exactly? The file is correct read, but on storing the file has the wrong formatation? What UNICODE format do you use in your files? There exist USC (big endian, little endian) and UTF8 (with/without BOM) in Notepad++. Is the file also encoded in one of these UNICODE formats?

      Best Regards

        I tried out N++ and it looks nice, but I have the same problem. At times I have .txt files in UTF-16 with no correct starting mark "ÿþ" (FF FE). And I don't find a way to display them correctly, they all show those NUL marks.
        Any ideas/help?

        Thanks

          I will try to find a solution for next version. Could you send me in addition an example file to be sure that it works?

            I can send you some utf-16 encoded files, but to which address?

            best regards

              You can also checkout your layout.ini (C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch\Layout.ini)

          Yes, if you open the file in the HEX-Editor(Plugin for Notepad++) and insert the correct starting mark at the start of the file, save it and reopen it.
          Then you can choose UCS-2 Littleendian Encoding and the file will be displayed correctly.

          best regards

            Can you please explain how to insert bytes in the Hex-Editor?  I can only see how to replace existing bytes.

              With copy and paste you can insert chars. At the moment there is no other way.
