COOL MAGIC #2

NotePad trick : Notepad as Diary

In daily life Notepad is a very small app comes along with each Windows Version.
This is real cool tip for people who use notepad to write down any info on a day to day basis...
In Notepad

* Create a blank text file with .LOG (CASE SENSITIVE) as the first line of the file, followed by a carriage return. [ Enter ]

* Save and close the file .

* Double-click the file to open it and notice that Notepad appends the current date and time to the end of the file and places the cursor on the next line.

* Type your notes and then save and close the file.


Each time you open the file, Notepad repeats the process, appending the time and date to the end of the file and placing the cursor below it
It simply serves as a virtual diary !




I'm not sure of an explaination for these, i think...

notepad saves as Unicode when it thinks the text is unicode.

Saving a file containing the "this app can break" text results in an ascii text file on disk containing this text. However, if the file is opened (exposing the bug), and saved, it gets saved as unicode.

I can't use PRE tags, so forgive the unformatted text below. bat.txt is a file created in notepad with the text above.

C:\temp2>debug bat.txt
-d
1385:0100 74 68 69 73 20 61 70 70-20 63 61 6E 20 62 72 65 this app can bre
1385:0110 61 6B 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 34 00 74 13 ak..........4.t.

Note that there is nothing in the file except for the ascii text characters at this point.
