Just discovered i'm totally wrong about that (musta bin python that put it there) So better set the record straight -- Since i put "character.set=utf8" in options, SciTE 1 - always shows utf8 files as intended, 2 - always stores non-ascii chars as utf8 bytes without any action from me (no using the menu). But, it does NOT make SciTE write a BOM. It only does that if i use the menu and tell it to be UTF8. (and you have to make a change in the text before anything happens) So a possible answer to Darren's difficulty is, put "character.set=utf8" in the options, and don't use the menu to set utf8. Then you get UTF8 without a BOM. I just opened such a file with Notepad -- no problem. Hmmm. I went to a lot of trouble to get BOMs on my files, and now i think the only reason i did it was because i though SciTE needed them: it did not automatically show utf8 as intended before i set "character.set=utf8". - jim Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com _______________________________________________ Scite-interest mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/scite-interest
