BOMScan Version 0.1 Released
Version 0.1 of BOMScan has just been released. BOMScan is a little tool I wrote to scan files for Unicode Byte Order Markers (or BOMs).
To use BOMScan, simply copy BOMScan.EXE into your Windows folder, then open a command prompt, goto the directory you want to scan and then simply type BOMScan and press enter. It will then proceed to scan every file and subdirectory for Unicode BOMs.
The output will look something like this:-
Scanning :- \ReqMan\Project Groups Scanning :- \ReqMan\Projects => Require.bdsgroup (UTF-8) => Require.bdsgroup.local (UTF-8) Scanning :- \ReqMan\Scratch Pad Scanning :- \ReqMan\Source
The following Unicode BOMs are supported.
| Bytes Matched | Description |
|---|---|
| 0×00 0×00 0xfe 0xff | UTF-32, big endian |
| 0xff 0xfe 0×00 0×00 | UTF-32, little endian |
| 0xfe 0xff | UTF-16, big endian |
| 0xff 0xfe | UTF-16, little endian |
| 0xef 0xbb 0xbf | UTF-8 |
Thats it, plain and simple.
