Where does it appear in the file? In the middle somewhere? Or always at the beginning? Or always at the end? Sorry, I do not believe that webdna is doing ths without your help. No one else has ever complained about this -- you're the first -- yet WebDNA for OS X has been out for ages already ... and I don't think it is very likely that all the other webdna/osx users would have been able to ignore this issue if it were actually a bug. Of course I could be wrong about this, but I suspect your coding techniques far more than a possible bug. If you write code like this: [writefile] skg f,ksbdf blkvbsbgvbsdf vbsldfbls [/writefile] .... you're putting two of those characters in there yourself, one at the beginning and one at the end of the file. The proper way to code a writefile context is like this: [writefile]skg f,ksbdf blkvbsbgvbsdf vbsldfbls[/writefile] By the way, you also claim that these characters are being written to your database files, but I fail to understand how this can happen either. Please post some of your code to show us how these characters are they being written to your database files, then maybe we can figure out what's really going on ...
