Looking for the line of code that has a tiny squiggle at the end because StyleCop analysers found a trailing whitespace and your code won't compile until you fix it. It's like a 12hr game of Where's Wally (or Where's Waldo for the North Americans)

I recently took a morning debugging an application that for some reason didn't work. After hours I found a non printable character in an encrypted password in the web.config X| It's nothing short of a miracle that I found it at all :laugh:

If it does I can't find it. Plus I'm too lazy to look. So I'll just keep staring at that screen. Staring...

Notepad++ - search for " \n" in extended character search mode. Or, if you want it a little more challenging, you can do the same thing in Microsoft Word, but that probably isn't the correct instruction for that program (and I'm not going to figure it out)! :laugh:

Non-printable occasionally end up in my php files from (I don't know where) - and when I try to start a session it gets rather cross with me. Three unprintable characters to start the file. Once I discovered the problem I only have the annoyance of opening it in HexEdit, replacing the characters with printable ones, saving, and then deleting them on the other side. Still, at least I know the cure, if not the cause.

For some reason solving those types of issues give me the greatest satisfaction. I dunno why.

Let me guess - are they: 0xEF, 0xBB, and 0xBF? If so, that would be the UTF8 Byte Order Mark: Byte order mark - Wikipedia[^]

My editor trims trailing whitespace. Trailing whitespace is about the only kind I don't like. :D

Of course! Why didn't I think of that. It should probably be a VS extension, and should work with all current and future versions in all cultures. This could take weeks of procrastination productive time saving work.

I think you are joking. :) There is a SED one-liner for finding any file recursively from a parent folder and printing any file that contains lines that end with a white space. You can also do it with PowerShell. I don't remember how to do either one of them off the top of my head. Best Wishes, -David Delaune

Maybe paste the code into a text-editor that allows you to search using regular expressions (i.e., Notepad++) and search using "^.+\s$"?

For me, it's having CP ask me how I want to paste whenever I paste -- and then assuming the wrong default, which adds insult to injury. X|
