Notepad saving file funny

[warrenerjm]

Hello

My notepad is doing silly things & I don't know why? I download a file, amend it, save it & it saves like this. Not in the original lines. This has never happened before & I can't get it to save as it looked before.

 

Tha added line is All Products

Notepad should not do that...

 

Try using something like a plain text editor or text-diff file program... like winmerge or filezilla

Search for and download PFE32, it's free and a great text editor.

Hi Aleem

 

It wasn't doing it before I downloaded Google pack, but I don't know if that caused it or not. I use filezilla to FTP, & have just got my head round that! I searched the forum more & found reference to Editpad Lite, which I downloaded for free. That worked OK. Confused me at first because it shows extra lines between the code, but it works.

 

Thank you for your reply.

Hi Bob

 

Thanks I will search for that one too & have a look. Free & easy is what I am looking for! I'm learning everything from scratch at the moment.

 

Thanks
