Can someone please tell me why and how I can work around: When I write to a file it places a special character at the begining of the first line? Now you may be asking "What are you talking about ? I write to files all the time and I don't see an special characters." Well when you open a file in notepad you don't see it, when you go to a command prompt and do a type <filename> you don't see it but if you do an edit <filename> from command prompt there it is. I wouldn't normally care about it, this is the first time something like this has come up. What i am doing is in my script I am writing a list of commands to the file then running plink to execute the list of commands from the command file. If you want to look at my code I will be more than happy to post it.

Have you tried Opening/Creating the file as Unicode?

Check the WSH documentation for the .CreateTextFile or .OpenTextFile depending on which you are using.

Ok I figured it out, I can also create file with the fs
penTextFile(strfile,intMethod,True,intFormat), which the CreatetextFile does not accept the last argument. That seemed to work well thanks for the post.
Just fyi I used in my code:
' ASCII = 0, Unicode = -1, SystemDefault = -2
intFormat = -2
