About BOM

A Byte Order Mark (BOM) is an invisible character at the start of text files that can cause issues with Arma 3's config and script parsers.

This utility: - Scans your project for files with BOM markers - Removes them from supported file types (sqf, hpp, cpp, etc.) - Reports how many files were modified

BOM markers are often added by Windows text editors. Run this utility if you encounter unexpected parsing errors or as part of project maintenance.
