Literally years

yes but if you dont know about it, you cant use it.
fair … there are a few helpers that if you select code but never right click you might never know they exist
this is one of those helpers
I do remember seeing this from another conversation a couple of years back.
Being able to clean invisible characters like this is handy, but you have to know or suspect that they are there. I wonder if Xojo should go one step further and not allow (=actively strip out) any of these in the code editor at all (or in constants only).
IMHO this is a BAD idea. There may be times when I WANT to have invisible or non-printable characters in the code editor (i.e., as a part of a string that will be fed into an external system). I could see making a warning available, but DON’T just silently change the characters I put into the code editor.
Oh, BAD idea, lots of capitals, I better don’t argue. Anyway, I didn’t say “silently” and I did mention constants with exactly the use case you mentioned in mind. But whatever.
this is cool
thanks
