Removing OSX “This resource fork intentionally left blank” message

Removing OSX “This resource fork intentionally left blank” message

Had an odd problem when editing a file locally where the following text started appearing everywhere:

Mac OS X  2ATTR com.apple.lastuseddate#PS&|o^6This resource fork intentionally left blank

After a bit of searching via Google I found out that this is caused by the finder of Mac OS creating an ._ file.

I tried to view these via CMD + SHIFT + . 

But nothing showed up. 

In terminal however if I used

$ ls -la 

It listed the ._ files

All I had to do then was run

$ rm ._tabs.php 

This solved the issue.
