    Hi,

    I've been modifying some .TPL files and I found when I save it in notepad that that it looses it's structure and just becomes one continuous line.

    This happen to anyone else, what can I do to avoid this?

    I believe your running into a Carraige return issue. Notepad doesn't see certain chars as Line Breaks (VBCrlf) whihc is chr(10) and chr(13) or Line break + Carriage return. Modify in Wordpad and you should be fine, or bring it into DReamweaver, tell it to Auto-Format then bring it back into notepad and save.

    I use ultraedit for editing and coding which keeps format very well. As for your situation, I know Drhtml which I don't believe is online any longer, had a tool where you could enter unformated html and it would restructure it. With that being said, if you have saved your .tpl file and have no backup of the formated version, try searching Google for HTML online format tool, or something similar.

    That is what I was looking for. It wasen't a word wrap issue. When you use wordwrap it just puts all the jibberish on one page. Will use Wordpad from now on. Just got off the phone with a good IT buddy of mine who suggested the identical response. Cheers everyone and Green coming your way!:cool:

    Hmm i prefer notepad, if you open with ---> notepad and save the file as the original extension, everything should be just fine. Be sure to verify if "word wrap" is being used too. You can find that on the "Format" menu
