All developers like to get feedback. So do I. For me, positive feedback is as valuable as negative feedback. I'd like to know about your experiences with CONVERTCP, found bugs, code reviews, suggestions etc. Because you have to sign in to create a ticket or to rate the project this forum is an additional platform where you are able to give feedback, also as an anonymous guest without having a SourceForge account. As long as spam bots don't exploit this opportunity I'll keep the forum open for everyone.
Of course this is also a platform for your questions and discussions about CONVERTCP.
Happy posting

I recently found CONVERTCP and am very happy I did, as it does a few things for me very well. I use it to convert characters with diacritics to the approximated ASCII characters, and to add BOM to certain files when needed. I don't see the ability to remove BOM. Is that possible?
Many thanks,
Mike

Glad to hear the utility is useful for you. Thank you for your feedback!
Of course it is possible to remove the BOM from UTF-encoded text files. Just use the same ID or alias for both CP_In and CP_Out. If you omit option /b then the output file will not have the leading BOM anymore.
Say, your file "test.txt" is UTF-8-encoded and has a BOM. In this case the command line would be like that:
If you have any further questions don't hesitate to get back to me.

I apologize it took a week to get back to you to say thank you for explaining the process to remove the BOM. It makes perfect sense. Thanks again.

You're welcome. Thanks again for your feedback. Much appreciated.
Steffen
Great tool! It is very useful for cases where old code pages are used (for example: conversion between CP852 and CP1250).
