enhancement = -unicode option

Open rynes opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

enhancement request = I downloaded my "data" from LinkedIn and at least some of it is in some sort of utf-8, or unicode with BOM and tab delimiter. Would it be easy to add a -unicode option? Ad Targeting.csv.txt

I can confirm that the tool fails with a bogus error when it tries to parse a (perfectly valid) .csv that's in UTF8-with-BOM encoding.

The error I get is:

Record #0 has error: bare " in non-quoted-field

unable to parse any further

after converting the file to UTF8 (without the BOM) it parses through without complaints, but some tools require the BOM to be present to read the data correctly.
