Extra characters showing in world script editor?

[BlackMagi Darkwatch]

I use notepad for scripting as 1 it reminds me to save locally and 2 I can have font bigger but something is driving me bonkers and I can't see where to get rid of it?

 

 

Here is a copy and paste of the text

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSay(0, "Hello, Avatar!");
    }

    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        llSay(0, "Touched.");
		
		/* These comments have been added in Notepad++ */
		llOwnerSay("How can I get rid of the characters to the left of this text (next to the line numbers)?");
    }
}

 

I'm using the default sl viewer

Thanks

If you are cutting and pasting from notepad to a script, then those are probably placeholders for code in notepad that is not supported by SL scripts.  You should be able to delete or backspace them to erase them.

Hello Amethyst,

 

I'd set up notepad++ as my external editor from a sl script.as per:

Going to keep digging - it's got to be in there somewhere!

Thanks

Posting this here for myself for possibly the next time.

            Preferences
            Tab Settings
            Tab size: 4  
            [x]  Replace by space

Yes those were tabs. My scripts are lousy with them as I use exclusively tabs for space, but I do 100% of my editing in notepad++  the only thing's my inworld script see is an incldue statement,  and maybe a few variables if I want to make several variations. 

 

You can do the same thing in reverse if you paste characters notepad++ can't handle in to it from the lsl editor.

"●" and "○" for example if I recall correctly.
