Notepad++ How to display multiple vertical lines
I often work in Notepad++ with files containing several fields of fixed width data.
I know how to display one vertical line at a custom position (Settings/Edit).
I would like to be able to quickly show and hide multiple vertical lines, something similar to the import text fixed width wizard in Excel.
Do you know a trick or a plugin to do this in Notepad++?
Solution 1:

As far as I know this is not possible.
The closest thing I've seen is the Notepad++ TextFX plugin Ruler:
-
Menu TextFx > TextFX Tools > Insert Ruler
Notes:
You can insert multiple rulers at different points in your document (and delete them later), or
Have a single ruler, clone to other view and have just the ruler in the top window,
The current column number is displayed in the status bar
