CSV file generates strange start in file

[sunnyboyj]

If I save a file like:
Table1.SaveCSV ("data.csv", "," ,False)
and I open the file there are strange things in the file:
The three fist are:

After that it's like a planned to save it for example the text 'TEXT":
TEXT,ARTICLE
What am I doing wrong?

This is UTF-8 marking (BOM).
You could usually ignore it.

[sunnyboyj]

Your are probably right. There is no way to concel these first three? The problem is that my application that want to import this file can not use it because of this.

You can use BinaryFile library to read the complete csv file except of the three first bytes and save it to a new file.
Please tell me if you need any help.

Would be great if you could help me with it!

This is the code (it is also attached):

Sub Globals
    Dim buffer(0) As byte
End Sub

Sub App_Start
    RemoveBOM("1.csv","new2.csv") 
End Sub

Sub RemoveBOM(file,NewFile)
    FileOpen(c,file,cRandom)
    bin.New1(c,true)
    size = FileSize(file)-3
    Dim buffer(size) As byte
    bin.ReadBytes(buffer(),3) 'pass the BOM
    bin.ReadBytes(buffer(),size)
    FileClose(c)
    FileDel(NewFile)
    FileOpen(c2,NewFile,cRandom)
    bin.New1(c2,true)
    bin.WriteBytes(buffer())
    FileClose(c2)
End Sub

It creates a new file without the utf8 marking.

Thanks, only it does not work. Maybe it's because I work with tables:

Table1.AddRow(QT.Text,Leeg1.text,leeg2.text)
Table1.SaveCSV("LGXVRDMU.csv", ",", False)

[Erel]

Did you try to do:
Table1.AddRow(QT.Text,Leeg1.text,leeg2.text)
Table1.SaveCSV("LGXVRDMU.csv", ",", False)
RemoveBOM("LGXVRDMU.csv","NewFile.csv")

[sunnyboyj]

yes I did; a get an error:
error compiling
bin is not a known control or object
bin.New1(c,true)

Never mind. Forgot to load the dll-file!
