Have you saved your text file in the UTF-8 format?  Also, could you post what your file looks like with the un0 item added?

Thanks,

Yes the txt file is saved as utf8

if i left a blank line as first line then everything works.

Could you send me the file that causes trouble for you?  Then I can analyze it.

Thanks for the sample files.  The problem is caused by your text editor's insertion of a UTF-8 Byte Order Marker which is tripping up the parsing and making it basically impossible for you to enter the first code in your file.  It is perfectly reasonable and not unexpected for a text editor to insert the BOM.  It is my fault for not taking that into consideration.  For a workaround just start your files out with a single blank line and then all codes will work.

I have modified the code to deal with the BOM at the beginning of the file.  The fix will appear in the next update.
