Weird characters saved in SQL file

[Scott Sturgeon <sturgeon(at)nettwerk(dot)com>]

Hi,

I'm running pgadmin 1.8.0 Beta 5 (rev: 6630:6631) on Mac OS X 10.4.10 
against postgresql 8.2.3...

I've written a bunch of table create statements using the SQL editor 
tool and saved them as files... Then I used a php script to parse the 
files and run them against the database in a specific order.  For some 
reason, at the beginning of each file are some hidden characters... 
0xEF. 0xBB & 0xBF respectively. This seems odd to me. Of course, it 
caused errors when sending the contents of the files to the database.  
I'm now removing those characters before sending the sql to the database 
and it works fine now... but a bit of a pain in the ass. IMHO, they 
shouldn't be there in the first place. You can't see them when opening 
the file using pgadmin, but if you open the file using vim or something, 
you will see them there.

Thanks,
Scott
