[CWB] Abortion on corpus creation

[Graham Ranger -- UAPV]

Thanks again, Stephanie. The problem was indeed the U+FEFF or BOM 
character lurking somewhere in the file. I thought I'd removed it with 
the command I usually use:

sed -i '1s/^\xEF\xBB\xBF//' myfile.txt

until I realised that this is only any good before concatenating the 
files (as it only targets the first line). So I tried

sed -i 's/^\xEF\xBB\xBF//g' myfile.txt

and things worked from that point on!
Best,
Graham.
