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?

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

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…
