Обсуждение: 65279 Invisible ASCII Character
Hi all,
Today i got one problem what i have saved more that one procedures in a folder. After i have concatenate those files into single file through shell script. After am trying to run that single file in my server, it was showing syntax error. If i remove first character it's run. That first character is invisible, I have checked that ascii value, it is 65279.
How can i overcome this problem. I want to run my single file without this error.
By below command i am concatenating individual scripting files to single.
:> cat *.* > <file_name>.sql
select ascii('');
select chr(65279);
select length('');
Plz. give me suggestions, it's blocker to my work.
Thanking you,

That's not an ASCII-value, ASCII has 8 bits at most. What you've got there is a UTF-16 Byte Order Mark: 65279 is 0xfeff (one of the well-known constants). I'd suggest you get your editor configured to write files without BOM. Maybe there's a workaround via locale settings - but I have no machine with an UTF-16 locale available. Another approach is using recode on your files before concatenating. This question isn't really for pgsql-hackers - I'm redirecting to -general. Regards, Christoph -- Spare Space
