(Visual Basic 6.0) Convert a File's Character Encoding from UTF-8 to UFT-8-BOM
To add a utf-8 BOM to a file is just a matter of prepending these 3 bytes to the file: 0xEF 0xBB 0xBF.
This may be difficult in some programming languages, or it may be trivial in either. Therefore, the Chilkat solution you see here might be helpful, or in a language such as C++, the Chilkat solution isn't really necessary because it's easy to do yourself.
' This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
Dim charset As New ChilkatCharset
charset.FromCharset = "utf-8"
charset.ToCharset = "bom-utf-8"
Dim success As Long
success = charset.ConvertFile("qa_data/txt/helloWorld.txt","qa_output/helloWorldBom.txt")
If (success <> 1) Then
Debug.Print charset.LastErrorText
Exit Sub
End If
Debug.Print "Success."
