yea, thats why I asked. Never found any editor better then ++ that Google has recommended. Seems to me Ill have to start just replacing all /r/n. Thank you for pointing me into the right direction for replacing that code.

i did find how to tell notepad++ to replace \r\n , however do you have any recommendations still on a extremely light weight program for php, ccs, xml editing? I edit 10's of 1000's of line of log files at my work, so notepad++ seemed to be a good way to go for all. in case anyone finds this thread: Search -> Replace -> (bottom left) click on Extended -> \r\n -> replace (leave the replace line blank)

notepad++ is beautiful though. what would you recommend that would both work, and resolve my current issue? Obviously using notepad to determine a line number by physically counting is out of the option. Any ideas?

Essentially notepad++ is adding extra lines every other, where as standard notepad for windows does not. The difficulty is that when debugging line # x in notepad++ does not = the correct line number, but in standard notepad i have no line numbers to go off. any ideas? attached is a file for example. here is a link to the two next to each other (i accidentally cut off the line numbers in notepad++, but you get the idea) [attachment deleted by admin]
