<p class="MsoNormal">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:
<o:p></o:p></p>
<pre>sed -i '1s/^\xEF\xBB\xBF//' myfile.txt<o:p></o:p></pre>
<p class="MsoNormal">until I realised that this is only any good before concatenating the files (as it only targets the first line). So I tried
<o:p></o:p></p>
<pre>sed -i 's/^\xEF\xBB\xBF//g' myfile.txt<o:p></o:p></pre>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">and things worked from that point on!<br>
Best,<br>
Graham.<o:p></o:p></p>

<pre>Many thanks for your help. Unfortunately, that didn't work... I've just checked: my XML tags are on different lines (though I would hope that would not make a difference) and the only spaces in the file are in the XML tag between "text" and "id".<o:p></o:p></pre>

<pre>If you can access the CWB-indexed corpus (or index it yourself on the command-line with cwb-encode and cwb-make), then you could find the location of the problem with a CQP query<o:p></o:p></pre>
