Problem with a text file
Hello to all
sevo register a text file and use a series of Begin text blocks and end text blocks to concatenate a night of ascii characters and names.
Then I have to save it from disk and use
Do lFileOps.$Writecharacter (kUniTypeUTF8, lritorno) Returns lError
the return is a string
I go to see the saved file and I see:
A CUR200192059230489 TO
B92059230489 00000001 01994550067 00 Condominium Margherita 1PTRDNA76P47F999B01PETRUCCI DAIANA 00000000000 0000000101 1170320201 TO
What are the first three characters () I have not written them, I start from A
I have tried several encodings but these three characters remain.
Omnis Studio 8.0.3
MAcOs operating system 10.11.6
Is there any way to eliminate them?
Thanks for the tips

Hi Mimmo,
the three characters you see are the BOM (Byte Order Mark) often used in Unicode files.
Non-Unicode capable editors or browsers display exactly the three characters you are quoting.
More about it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark
So, if you really want to write UTF-8 Unicode, everything is fine.
If you don’t need Unicode (and want to omit those characters), you have to use one of the ANSI encodings available i.e.kUniTypeAnsiLatin1
which should be sufficent for your needs.
