Apparently you have edited this before? If it's freelancer isn't it 98/ early XP timeframe? Try an older computer. I 've never seen one with nulls etc. BUT in the hacker world, stuff that needs to be hidden is usually changed to a different non-standard font. google aroung for a plugin for notepad++ that will change the font each time you hit a specified button. Can't remember the name offhand. You'll be able to scrol thru the fonts easily. If you get notepad++ you can have two colums open with the same document for side by side comparison WITH LINE NUMBERS!!!! No more searching up and down for the text you need to replace. Hope you get it sorted. Other thoughts, try to change it to binary then back again. Binary will use the ASCII number to recognize the individual characters and the ASCII numbers are standard across al fonts. The computer doesn't care what font it's reading (like the human eye does). Good luck. Side note: I don't care where you keep your head!! LOL Edited March 5, 2012 by Darth Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
