Hello,
I would like to make a find&replace for a batch of files looking for utf-8 character in UTF-8 without BOM files (so ANSI files contening utf-8 characters).
AFR go through the file only in ANSI mode and don't try to find character matching.
Exemple:
Try to find the character "é" on a file save as UTF-8 without BOM. AFR will find nothing.
But if i add BOM to the file, now he found it. So I suspect AFR to parse the file in ANSI only and not trying to match to special characters which are not ANSI (as it should do to detect UTF-8 file without BOM)
So my question:
Do you know how too use AFR with UTF8 without BOM files ?
This is a critical problem, i think.
Thanks.
Tom.
AFR don't find UTF-8 characters in UTF-8 Files without BOM !

hello,
i have the same problem and found an "external" solution.
i use "EditPad Lite" a free text editor (google it for website)
in the editor window :
- menu "convert"
- Text encoding
select "unicode, UTF-8"
OK
paste your text : copyright © 2009 - Le Café - èôéç
- menu "convert" - "text encoding"
select "Window 1252: western european"
with "radio button" to "interpret the original data as ..."
OK
copyright © 2009 - Le Café - èôéç
... and the new string works well with "AFR"
better solutions are welcomed !
cheers, bfmy

Re: AFR don't find UTF-8 characters in UTF-8 Files without BOM !
I'm also interested about this issue. I think AFR must be able to find Unicode text in various encodings so it should be an option to search text files without BOM as ANSI and/or UTF-8.
I don't want to open the pandora's box regarding Unicode support: but, in the future, it will be nice to add possibility to search Unicode text by ignoring the normalization form used in the file
