[Exist-open] Removing BOM from Document

[Daniel E. <dan...@un...>]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to write a routine to insert XML-Documents into the eXist-db 
using an xquery-script. The Script is using util:parse to get the xml of 
an uploaded file. Most of the time this works fine. But some of the 
files I'm getting start with a BOM (Byte Order Mark,  ). In this 
cases util:parse won't work anymore. Is there a way to recognize or even 
delete the BOM with xquery or eXist?

Any Advice how to handle this problem anyone?

Cheers Daniel
