when you find a single invisible character in each of your sql files in visual studio that causes a sql implosion saying

invalid syntax near ''

Sublime Text 3 and other tools didn't help. required manually finding this time, in 20 files..... with an overdue project.

I wanted to burn visual studio to the ground

    Write yourself a small tool to read through a file (or series of files) and let you know if there are any non printing characters.

    @sheeponmeth I thought about it, but it was such a rare occurrence I felt like effort wouldn't be worth it. I'll think about it though as it sure would be nice to have, and might help others. a quick PowerShell script would be easy to do. thanks for reminding me

    @SQLBarbarian Yeah, even just having a list of non printing characters and grep-ing for them would be super easy.
