Ah, a \u200F (right to left mark). Sneaky sneaky. I've also met the "record separator" (invisible ascii character) before, didn't do that much damage but caused some headaches..

would you know how to write it with keyboard ?
I have no idea how my customer wrote the character, and he neither. I can only duplicate the problem by copy pasting.

There's an Alt code, but it's one of the weird ones that start with a + and that usually don't work (IIRC there's some obscure setting to enable it). They probably copied it from somewhere.

IIRC, it's Alt + 288 ..

What, you mean you are not using the font Terminal for your C# code editing?

Han Solo keeps a good blaster at his side; so does JSOP. Han Solo made a lot of "personal modifications" to his ride; so has JSOP. You never see the two together...
The Alamo hasn't been attacked even once since JSOP road into town.
Meetings are kept short due to JSOP's use of bullet points.
Compared to JSOP, even Jon Skeet is a small-caliber developer.
Big Bend is where Pecos Bill chose to go around JSOP.
In Texas, sunsets watch JSOP.
Sheet lightning is caused by JSOP's periodic flurries of last-minute refactoring -- both the air and the code are left fresh and clear.

I started using computers professionally around 1992 so I'm very familiar with the command line.
Anyway, I still find the command-line to be the best bet to
1. find a file :
dir /s finkle*.*
2. or search for text within multiple files:
find /I "finkle" *.*
However, cmd-line find doesn't all you to search subdirs. blech!
The built-in windows (and yes this post is about windows-- maybe Linux is better? -- chime in) search is really quite terrible and there are times when it will ignore files and terribly ugly details I remember from XP, etc.
Why is the state of searching your own computer in such a terrible condition?
Wasn't there a google project for desktop search or something?
Just curious if you've found this to be true too.

I use Agent Ransack[^], much faster and better than windows.

Thanks. That looks like a nice utility and has the right price.

Also, nice sig line. So true.

Agreed - it's an awesome utility!

I'm a little late to the party, but second Agent Ransack. My favorite feature is that when searching for content within files, it shows the search term(s) in context, or with the surrounding content, in a preview window. MS screwed up file and contents searching after XP.

I keep the files on my own desktop organised in a way that makes sense to me, so if I need a file I generally have a pretty good idea where it is
If I had to find something on somebody else's desktop however, I'd be screwed!

I have OCD and Alzheimer so I'm extremely well organized but forget my scheme.

Windows started going downhill with Win95 when they replaced "File Manager" with "Windows Explorer". The user used to be in control, and managed their system. From that point, MS were in control, the user was in the dark, and had to "Explore" and hope they stumbled across something useful. 19 years and counting of trying to tame Windows...
