Good evening.

 

SAMSUNG Galaxy Trend Plus GT-S7580

I am looking for a way creating text files in my mobile phone (Android 4.2.2), and, when I copy these files in Windows, files can be read just in Windows Notepad. Or reverse.

As you can understand, I have no big requests since Windows editor is just notepad. Just a simple file read/write.

 

Could you help me?

Thank you!

To be more specific.

I have installed in my mobile phone from Google Play the app Fast Notepad. And created many files through this app. So, more, I want these files to be read from windows notepad.

The problem is here:

if I create in the cell phone with Fast Notepad a file e.g.

xxx

yyy

zzz

with the lines one below the other, the problem is that Windows notepad will indeed read file contents, but it will put all lines in serial. And at the point of line change (so, at the point of enter) it will put two strange characters of little squares. Now, that in my keyboard I do not have the square character, I will put the at (@) symbol to show you the output result. So, I will see the file in windows notepad as follows:

xxx@@yyy@@zzz

But, I want to be able to see it with lines one below other.

I found out that simple Windows Notepad can read just files with an MS-DOS line breaking character, and Android creates Unix line breaking character files. That is the reason of in serial all lines of the file. It cannot read line breaking character as it should. So, Notepad++ does read it as it should.

Except from Notepad++, do you know any other editors like that one?
