      Hello Andrew,              Saturday February 21 2015 17:53, I wrote to you:               Mvd>>> The UTF-8 BOM consists of the three bytes 0xEF 0xBB 0xBF.        Mvd>>> Whenever this sequence appears it should be removed.               AL>> I will see what I can do on this. It will probably require some        AL>> changes in how the input lines are parsed, so I expect it will        AL>> not be done until 3.5.0 at the earliest.               MV> Wouldn't it be simpler to do it when writing to the output?              Eh... drop that. I wasn't thinking. It should indeed be done when reading the       input, otherwise MakeNl will not parse the input when a BOM is present.                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20130111        * Origin: http://www.vlist.eu (2:280/5555)    |
