BOM

[armsys]

Please help me write a VBScript to insert a Byte Order Marker (BOM) into a text string/file.
Thanks.

Try code like this - a BOM should be written at the beginning of the file automatically because the 3rd argument to CreateTextFile is True (specifying Unicode):

Code: Select all

Dim fso
Dim tf
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set tf = fso.CreateTextFile("C:\MyFiles\Test.txt", True, True)
tf.WriteLine "Hello World"
tf.Close

If that does not do what you want please provide more information about what you want to accomplish.
