      Option “Encode in UTF-8” is not working as expected, its not removing BOM

          Maybe this “problem” has to do with the recent renaming of the encoding options for UTF-8 with and without BOM? Maybe the OP is just used to the old naming scheme and is now confronted with the new names? There was a post recently about this renaming…

            This may be specifically happening xml data-file,

            The file having junk/BOM characters before first xml tag of each line,

            I saved with UTF-8 and transferred to Linux box, still can see junk/BOM characters

            thanks

              hmm, I might be wrong but I thought BOM is a file marker which appears on the beginning of a file
              not in the middle but what I can think of is that windows uses \r\n and linux \n. Maybe you see the
              \r instead?

              Cheers
