what's the difference with encoding with BOM and without BOM? with notepad++ I have both options, I don't know which one is better. I know that with BOM notepad recognizes it as utf-8, which is good when opening the files with notepad. Uri Even-Chen Mobile Phone: +972-50-9007559 E-mail: u...@spe

OK, I'm attaching an example file with a few lines in hebrew (encode it in windows-1255 to read the hebrew). I checked now and I can convert the file to windows-1255 encoding, the problem was that it was already in utf-8 and that's why I couldn't convert it. but I still need to encode it in utf-8

also i just remembered, notepad itself has an option of saving the files natively to utf8 format, however it is utf8 with BOM, which is bad for you. 2009/12/16 Tom Goren > could you perhaps attach an example of such a file? > > it would make it easier to recommend the appropriate conversion for

Re: encoding hebrew text

could you perhaps attach an example of such a file? it would make it easier to recommend the appropriate conversion for you to make (in my opinion it should eventually all be utf8). i know that notepad++ should be sufficient. tom. 2009/12/15 Uri Even-Chen > Hi people, > > I have a problem wit
