This is perhaps a trivial doubt. But how to do for Notepad++ nay escape the backslash \ ?

For example, if I save a . csv file with the content A\032 Notepad++ escapes backslash and interprets part 032 as a text instead of a special character.

  • have you tried ? two sliders?

  • @Luizrossi yes, then he escapes the two bars, and gets 032.

  • I could not reproduce the error, it can be the file encoding so, see if the 'format' menu is not a matter of encoding...

  • @Luizrossi What do you call reproducing the error? If you are seeing 032 instead of [sub] or nothing, the error happened, because 032 is not a visible character.

  • @Carloscinelli, how do you check the error playback? The file is created in Notepad and then saved as . csv?

  • @Cold, create . csv with Notepad++ and then open it in excel, for example. If in excel it appears 032 it means that the backslash has been escaped, which is what I do not want to happen.

    Yah, you’re absolutely right, I already tried and gave this "error". Is there any other application, besides excel, to test this?

  • @Cold can be tested in any programming language that reads csv, such as R or Python.

  • @Carloscinelli, what character should appear instead of the unrealized text?

  • @Cold In Notepad++ would appear SUB, in excel a arrow.

  • Try doing the reverse process to see if this is the case. I believe you can see which character.
