| removing byte order mark | removing byte order mark 2007-07-27 - By Alexey Solofnenko
For some reason I have had the same problem on Solaris, but not on
Windows even though both JDK version and all jars were the same. At the
end I wrote a <scriptdef> that would fix all XML files not to have BOM
mark. It looks like that:
<scriptdef name="fixbom" language="jython">
<attribute name="dir" type="location"/>
<attribute name="extensions" type="text"/>
<![CDATA[
#fixbom
import os
import fileutils
import utils
import pre
dir=str(attributes.get("dir"))
extensions=utils.makeSet(str(attributes.get("extensions")))
def getType(name):
idx=name.rfind('.')
if idx<0: return name.lower()
else: return name[idx:].lower()
def fixFiles(arg, dir_name, names):
for name in names:
if extensions.has_key(getType(name)):
path=dir_name+os.sep+name
content=fileutils.readFileBin(path)
if len(content)>3 and content[0]==-17 and content[1]==-69 and
content[2]==-65:
self.log("Removing BOM '"+path+"'...")
fileutils.writeFileBin(path, content[3:])
os.path.walk(dir, fixFiles, None)
]]>
</scriptdef>
