Visual Studio 2019 and the Weird, Wonderful Nonbreaking Space
-
I just pasted a block of #define directives from the application header of a C++ program that I am writing in preparation for writing a short article for the Actian developer blog. When I applied the Trim worksheet function to a substring that contains a hexadecimal value that I wanted in its own column, I noticed that the cell had a leading space. Since it obviously wasn't a SPACE or a TAB, I turned on the hexadecimal view mode in my editor (UltraEdit), and discovered that the hexadecimal code of the character at that location was 0xA0, 160 decimal, the nonbreaking space character.
