How to write UTF-8 file Without BOM

[lsakizada]

I have the script bellow that convert Unicode to UTF-8 file.

I need the UTF-8 file to be save with no BOM

can you help please?

if $CmdLine[0] <> 2 then 
    MsgBox(0,0,"Uses: U2UTF8 'Path to Source Unicode File' 'Path to Destination UTF-8 File' ")
    exit
EndIf
    
Dim $UnicodeFile    = $CmdLine[1]
Dim $UTF8FILE      = $CmdLine[2]    

$File1 = FileOpen($UnicodeFile, 0); 
$Unicode = FileRead($File1, FileGetSize($UnicodeFile))
FileClose($File1)

$file = FileOpen($UTF8FILE, 128+2)
If $file = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf
FileWrite($file, $Unicode)
FileClose ($file)

IsBinaryString() doesn't exist anymore change it to isBinary() instead

Amazing... I need the same thing. Here is my script:

$i = $CmdLine[1]

$j1 = FileOpen ($i, 128)
$k = FileRead ($j1)
$l = StringReplace ($k, @CRLF, @LF)
FileClose ($j1)

$j2 = FileOpen ($i, 130)
FileWrite ($j2, $l)
FileClose ($j2)

My script is for changing Windows line endings into Unix line endings, and it works except for two things:

1. It adds a BOM

2. It doesn't save as UTF8

The script works if you compile it and then drag and drop the file onto the EXE file (the result replaces the original file).

Anyone found a simple way to remove the BOM yet? Is there a macro code for the BOM so that one can simply remove it?
