How To View Hidden Characters In Text Document

  • 5

I need to be able to view the hidden characters (tab, return, etc) in a notepad text document. We used to be able to view the ascii characters but I can’t find anything to do that.

I could use some dos method, notepad, wordpad, word, excel, anything from windows. Or something online. It’s just a few characters I am researching. An ideas? Thanks.

  1. download coreutils for windows then use the od command

    c:\test> od -c file 
    

    then you can see those characters. Experiment with different options and see.
