As I'm doing some parsing of my Event logs for some custom reporting, I'm finding on random lines there are occasional <U+FEFF> characters before the year. Two examples:
All the text logs are saved in UTF-8 formatting, which puts 3 hex bytes (called a Byte Order Mark or BOM) at the beginning of the file (EF BB BF) to indicate UTF-formatting. (U+FEFF) is the BOM for UTF-16, which Poker Mavens does not use. So I'm wondering if you loaded and resaved those files? Please zip up a raw event log file from your data folder and send that to me.
I found the culprit. I'm SMB mounting the Logs directory from my Windows server to a Linux server where I do all my custom reporting. When I access the Event logs on that linux machine, each first line of the file contains the <U+FEFF>. However, I'm not seeing it if I directly access the file on my Windows server.
