Considering the byte order mark (UTF-BOM) when reading a text file using the readUTF() method in AIR

04/28/2008 06:52 pm by Marco Casario | RIAvolutionize the web in AIR Adobe Integrated Runtime
Working with Adobe AIR's d ead and write methods, we encountered some strange behaviors when using the readUTF() method to read text files (TXT or RTF). In fact if the text file we're opening has not been created by Adobe AIR, we got a runtime error (number #2030 line ending ....) from the Flash Player. Investigating we discovered that the readUTF() method won't find a couple of bytes embedded into the file that it needs.
