Reading "u00A3" through file content conversion

[Former Member]

Hi,

My input file has "£" as a character. While reading this character through file content conversion XI is converting it into two characters. I have used encoding as UT-8, and have tried various other encoding as well. But nothing seems to be working.

Is there any way out to read this symbol as one character only.?

Thanks,

Rosine Jose.

hi,

you can try with ANSI encoding as well as ISO-8859-1.

check this page, they explain about utf-8 encoding.

Hi Rosine,

Have you tried the value "ISO 8859-1" for file encoding type in the file comm. channel?

If not, please check this...

Thanks.

When the £ is split into two characters, the source file seems to be UTF-8.

Try UTF-8 in the communication channel.

If this does not help, send the file as attachment to my email address:
