    Hi,

    Besides using NP++ as a great substitution of notepad.exe to view text files on Windows I also  use it as log file viewer for a telnet client (putty). 

    The problem is that lines are coming with NULL characters and NP++  shows it as NUL in white foreground color and black background color and also inserts a blank line right after the NUL character.  As a result log is quite unreadable.

    I looked for option which will allow me to disable such behavior but didn't find one.
    Please advise.

    Regards,
    Alex

      While it's far the perfect solution, surely it's possible to do a simple find and replace with the characters to make the logs readable?

        It can work :). Thanks.
        However, I use these logs very frequently for my work, so it can be pretty annoying. Besides, I looks like it is a matter of NP++ configuration and I just can't find it. So if anybody knows how to do that, please let me know.
