You cannot add color to a CSV file, irrespective of the language used.
It is like asking, “can I add sound to a JPEG file?”. For doing so it has to be converted to a Video format.
Similarly, To add color (or any other formatting), you have to convert it to an .XLSX (or any spreadsheet/excel format).
Where do I start?
I’m a huge financial nerd, and have spent an embarrassing amount of time talking to people about their money habits.
Here are the biggest mistakes people are making and how to fix them:
Not having a separate high interest savings account
Having a separate account allows you to see the results of all your hard work and keep your money separate so you're less tempted to spend it.
Plus with rates above 5.00%, the interest you can earn compared to most banks really adds up.

Overpaying on car insurance

Not really an answer to your question but Excel loves to do this with conditional formatting
I honestly believe that this is the answer to get the intended report. While the source data might be CSV, you it could then be saved as XLSX and color coded using conditional formatting. It's probably less labor intensive to do it this way, rather than try to develop a PS based solution. Once you've run the report once, you simply paste in updated information each time you need an update and your conditional formatting updates the color coding.

> How do I display special non-ASCII Unicode characters in Notepad++ (regardless if file saved and reopened)?
You question is likely not clearly stated so I’ll start with an answer as written, offer ideas for what you may mean, and leave it up to you clarify what you really want to know:
No special effort is required to display Unicode characters in NotePad++. It almost always just works.
The major exception MIGHT be for UTF-8 with NO BOM (byte order mark which tells the editor what type of Unicode is present). All the other types have a BOM standard.

The major exception MIGHT be for UTF-8 with NO BOM (byte order mark which tells the editor what type of Unicode is present). All the other types have a BOM standard.
IF you have UTF-8 and no BOM you MIGHT need to manually chose UTF-8 from the Encoding meny instead of ANSI — e.g., don’t choose UTF-8 BOM since there isn’t one.
Since no special effort is required it’s not clear what you really wish to know.
If you were having trouble with specific UTF8 without the BOM then the method above should take care of it.
If this doesn’t answer your question then post a much more specific statement of what you are doing and what problem you are really trying to solve.
A wise man once said: The answer to the question is the question itself.
You can set the colour of “LineNr”, something like this:
- highlight LineNr ctermbg=red ctermfg=white
You can use “help highlight” to find out more about it.
Using “highlight” on its own will give you a list of all the current colour settings which will give you a bit of a head start.
The mouse feels good when you are selecting something in Notepad++. You just need to press ALT on the keyboard and hold the left click at your desired columns. Now you will be able to edit every column at once that you selected. You can use the keyboard only to select and edit multiple columns at once.
The simple way is to use Conditional Formatting. However, it is not a good idea to format entire columns unless data input is viable in all rows.
So, select the likely entire range of columns and rows which could conceivably contain data entries.
In the Home tab, click ‘Conditional Formatting’ dropdown in the Styles group.
Select ‘New Rule’
Select ‘Use a formula to determine which cells to format’.
In the ‘Format values where this formula is true’ text box enter the formula:
=Mod(Column(),2)= 0

Click ‘Format’, select the Fill tab, select the secondary column color you wish to use, and click ‘OK’ twice.
Note: If you don’t wish to use the default color for the balance of the columns, you can repeat the process above, except using this formula;
=Mod(Column(),2)=1
Click Format, Fill, select the alternating color you wish to use and click ‘OK’ twice.
OK, Go in Menu Settings->Style Configurator-> than in "Langugage" List select Global Styles. After in Style list select "Selected text colour" and after you will get screen as shown on screenshot. On right side of window you will be able tyo change colour of selected text.
If each code is on a new line, you can use the find and replace tool.
Click on the regular expression tab, and in the “find” box, type (or copy) “(\n|^)” without the quotations.
In the replace box, type “\1 “. Note the space at the end of this command before the quotation. Once this has been done, simply click find and replace.
If your notepad++ document reads like a CSV (each code is separated by a comma or other consistent form of grammar), simply find this value and replace it with the “\1 “ above, again paying attention to the space.

You have to do it manually. I don’t think Notepad++ has the capability of creating columns.
Communicating fluently in English is a gradual process, one that takes a lot of practice and time to hone. In the meantime, the learning process can feel daunting: You want to get your meaning across correctly and smoothly, but putting your ideas into writing comes with the pressure of their feeling more permanent.

Communicating fluently in English is a gradual process, one that takes a lot of practice and time to hone. In the meantime, the learning process can feel daunting: You want to get your meaning across correctly and smoothly, but putting your ideas into writing comes with the pressure of their feeling more permanent. This is why consistent, tailored suggestions are most helpful for improving your English writing abilities. Seeing specific writing suggestions based on common grammatical mistakes multilingual speakers make in English is key to improving your communication and English writing fluency.
Regular feedback is powerful because writing in a language that isn’t the first one you learned poses extra challenges. It can feel extra frustrating when your ideas don’t come across as naturally as in your primary language. It’s also tough to put your writing out there when you’re not quite sure if your grammar and wording are correct. For those communicating in English in a professional setting, your ability to write effectively can make all the difference between collaboration and isolation, career progress and stagnation.
Grammarly Pro helps multilingual speakers sound their best in English with tailored suggestions to improve grammar and idiomatic phrasing. Especially when you’re writing for work, where time often is in short supply, you want your communication to be effortless. In addition to offering general fluency assistance, Grammarly Pro now includes tailored suggestions for writing issues common among Spanish, Hindi, Mandarin, French, and German speakers, with more languages on the way.
Features for all multilingual speakers
Grammarly’s writing suggestions will catch the most common grammatical errors that multilingual speakers make in English. For example, if you drop an article or misuse a preposition (such as “on” instead of “in”), our sidebar will flag those mistakes within the Fix spelling and grammar category with the label Common issue for multilingual speakers. Most importantly, it will provide suggestions for fixing them. While these errors seem small, one right after another can make sentences awkward and more difficult to absorb. Eliminating them all in one fell swoop is a powerful way to put a more fluent spin on your document.
Features for speakers of specific languages
With Grammarly Pro, speakers of French, German, Hindi, Mandarin, and Spanish can get suggestions specifically tailored to their primary language, unlocking a whole other level of preciseness in written English. For speakers of those languages, our sidebar will flag “false friends,” or cognates, which are words or phrases that have a similar form or sound in one’s primary language but don’t have the same meaning in English.
But now Grammarly Pro’s writing suggestions will catch these types of errors for you and provide suggestions on how to fix them. You can find these suggestions in the Sound more fluent category in our floating sidebar. Simply click on the suggestion highlighted in green, and voila, your English will be more polished and accurate.
PS: Tailored suggestions for other language backgrounds are on the way!
You also need to have a font installed that can display the characters you’ve added ir pasted into the file.
Displaying them should be no problem, as long as you set the right encoding (e.g. UTF-8). If the file is in a different encoding, you might experience problems - non-Unicode encodings don’t have support for every Unicode characer (not even close).
I once met a man who drove a modest Toyota Corolla, wore beat-up sneakers, and looked like he’d lived the same way for decades. But what really caught my attention was when he casually mentioned he was retired at 45 with more money than he could ever spend. I couldn’t help but ask, “How did you do it?”
He smiled and said, “The secret to saving money is knowing where to look for the waste—and car insurance is one of the easiest places to start.”
He then walked me through a few strategies that I’d never thought of before. Here’s what I learned:

I once met a man who drove a modest Toyota Corolla, wore beat-up sneakers, and looked like he’d lived the same way for decades. But what really caught my attention was when he casually mentioned he was retired at 45 with more money than he could ever spend. I couldn’t help but ask, “How did you do it?”
He smiled and said, “The secret to saving money is knowing where to look for the waste—and car insurance is one of the easiest places to start.”
He then walked me through a few strategies that I’d never thought of before. Here’s what I learned:
1. Make insurance companies fight for your business
Most people just stick with the same insurer year after year, but that’s what the companies are counting on. This guy used tools like Coverage.com to compare rates every time his policy came up for renewal. It only took him a few minutes, and he said he’d saved hundreds each year by letting insurers compete for his business.
Click here to try Coverage.com and see how much you could save today.
2. Take advantage of safe driver programs
He mentioned that some companies reward good drivers with significant discounts. By signing up for a program that tracked his driving habits for just a month, he qualified for a lower rate. “It’s like a test where you already know the answers,” he joked.
You can find a list of insurance companies offering safe driver discounts here and start saving on your next policy.
3. Bundle your policies
He bundled his auto insurance with his home insurance and saved big. “Most companies will give you a discount if you combine your policies with them. It’s easy money,” he explained. If you haven’t bundled yet, ask your insurer what discounts they offer—or look for new ones that do.
4. Drop coverage you don’t need
He also emphasized reassessing coverage every year. If your car isn’t worth much anymore, it might be time to drop collision or comprehensive coverage. “You shouldn’t be paying more to insure the car than it’s worth,” he said.
5. Look for hidden fees or overpriced add-ons
One of his final tips was to avoid extras like roadside assistance, which can often be purchased elsewhere for less. “It’s those little fees you don’t think about that add up,” he warned.
The Secret? Stop Overpaying
The real “secret” isn’t about cutting corners—it’s about being proactive. Car insurance companies are counting on you to stay complacent, but with tools like Coverage.com and a little effort, you can make sure you’re only paying for what you need—and saving hundreds in the process.
If you’re ready to start saving, take a moment to:
- Compare rates now on Coverage.com
- Check if you qualify for safe driver discounts
- Reevaluate your coverage today
