I have recently lost all my information in my general Notepad. I managed to recover it from an autosave. But i can’t put it back unless I delete som of it. I have A LOT written there so is there any limit of characters? Or anythink else to know why?
I don’t know, and Googling this turns up different AI answers, depending on the exact wording of the question – I’ve seen a low number of 4,095 characters to a high of 65,535 – quite a difference! I’d guess, though that there is a limit, and that the limit relates to some power of two – for example 2 to the 16th is 65,536 – take away one for an end of string character, and that gives the 65,535 possibility.
There’s a thread on this topic from Cubase 12 at Cubase 12 Notepad. In that, someone mentions a limit of something like 8,500 words, but, of course, it would depend how long the words are for what the limit on the number of characters is – e.g. if the character limit were 65,535, then 8,500 words as a limit would mean averaging 7.71 characters per word (including the spaces between words, of course, so I guess more like 6.71 characters in the actual words on average).
You might be able to get an idea on this by pasting the entries you have that just fit and, separately, the ones that don’t end up showing up, into some app or website that can give a character count on pasted text. Then try and figure out what power of 2 number sits between the one that shows in Cubase and the one that doesn’t. Here’s one that showed up in a Google search:
Mind you, it’s possible that could have a limit on how long the pasted text can be.
