List object odd character bug

[mobichan]

When I Load a text file from Binary Data into my List object at runtime, the first line gets an odd character added to it. The attached pic shows what I mean.

This is only happening on device (NOT in the CF2.5 debugger). I am using beta 284.5. Anyone know what might be happening? I think it is causing my level data (in the text file) to not load for some reason. I assume this because the level data from the text file loads fun on PC.

Was it saved as UTF8 file with BOM (byte order mark). If so save it without BOM (Notepad++ can do it).

It was actually saved with an mmf level editor from a list object using the file extension. I can try resaving it but is it possible to update the file object to support UTF8 ?

I opened it in Notepad and saved as UTF8 format and that fixed the problem. But is this a limitation of using the File Object with the List Object? And is it possible to work around it now? Or will I need to always resave in Notepad? I am also curious why this only affects the iOS runtime.

I just realized I can change the output of the level editor's project file to UTF8. That solved the problem. But it is still curious why the issue appeared on ios when run only on a device.
