OK, then that is the problem. I need it to actually write the file. It
could either rename the old file and then rewrite it which would be nice,
or just over write the old file. Th
I use this to add BOM:

You shouldn't be so fixed on eliminating BOMs, it's
quite a nice concept. It causes less trouble than you
think.

I have a large number of text files created in MS Word and saved in
UTF-8 format. Unfortunately, MS Word adds the BOM to each file. I need
to remove the BOM.
Information regarding BOM and UTF-8 can be found here:
