Thomas? Nano does not add a BOM to any file. If you want to know whether any file contains a BOM, you can start nano with the +1 cursor- positioning directive (like so: nano +1 thefilename) and then type <Backspace>. If the upper right corner then says "Modified", an invisible character (most likely a BOM) was deleted before the first visible one. If so, type ^S and ^X and you're done. If "Modified" does not appear, there is no BOM, and you can simply type ^X to exit.
To summarize: to make sure a file does not contain a Byte Order Mark, run 'nano +1' followed by the filename, and type: <Backspace> ^S ^X. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1045062 Title: No option to save without BOM (Byte Order Mark) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nano/+bug/1045062/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
