I am trying to read a comma delimited file with special characters. The program can read the first few fields correctly until a special character is reached. Thereafter, the next column shifts to the left. Please see below example:

 

Expected outcome

Field 1Field 2Field 3Field 4
IUNABLE TO EARMARK FOR VAF S/SHIP PRIOR TO 2002�ZAR88

 

However, this is what I am getting:

Field 1Field 2Field 3Field 4
IUNABLE TO EARMARK FOR VAF S/SHIP PRIOR TO 2002�ZAR88
