Allow Special Character Handling

[e160842]

Describe the issue Using this programming to transfer data fails for data that includes Special Chars ( $%^& etc.) , especially when those Special Char's are in the Header (field names) of the data :(

Describe the solution you'd like Enable this programming to 'handle' Special Chars

Describe alternatives you've considered we have to create extra step to "cleanse" Special Chars before we use this programming - not efficient.

Additional context Please let me know if any clarifications needed :)

Hi @e160842, could you please provide the connector's configuration you used to process data ? Thanks
