corrupt files or some special format

Communities ColdBox HMVC

I recently started looking at coldbox. I'm going through all the
sample applications in genesis.

I don't understand why the General.cfc handler (located in the
"handler" folder) code is kinda messed up or funky.

for example:
^M<cfcomponent name="General" extends="coldbox.system.Coldbox"
output="false">^M^M

Basically, after every CF tag or CF comment there is this "^M" one
time or two times in a row. Plus its not formatted nicely with
tabspace and new lines, it all runs together.

If I open Datastore.cfc in the model folder, the code looks beautiful.

What gives?

What are you using to edit the files?

Also Luis, can you confirm if the ColdBox is UTF-8 or standard ASCII
encoded?

I would like to say UTF8 but I cannot confirm. Maybe somebody can help
out an make sure all files are UTF8 any easy ways

There are tools out there that will enable batches to be done, we did this a
year or so ago.

Just google'ed for an application that did it for us.

Can you refer us to that tool so we can run it in the samples and core?

Unifier.

It can scan all the .cf, .htm files and replace them with Unicode (utf-8) versions.

Even you can add BOM on utf-8 files.

Just be careful and do not put BOM for any XML file.

I'm using VIM set to encode UTF-8 on my windows laptop.

I just went back to cfeclipse and ofcourse its ok there.

I'll post back when i find an answer to VIM and these CFC files.
