Importa data and special characters

Data Service
1

I’ve been testing the Import feature and I have a problem with the special characters.

Characters like á,é,í,ó,ú or ü, or ñ doesn’t appear when I import the data. Which charset configuration are you using? Do i have to encode my .csv in some way to make it work?

Hi Javier,

We are looking into the problem.

We could not duplicate the problem. Could you try saving your document with the UTF8 encoding and re-import it into Backendless again?

If I encode the file with UTF-8 it doesn’t allow me to import it. It throws me an error.

I can send it to you to check it. I send you encoded in ANSI and UTF-8. I removed some special characters because I needed to do a little demo and I wanted to see the whole words. But there are some like “antigüedad” that has the special character.

Could you try the file in the attachment?

It worked fine. What I have to do with my files if I have to upload one like this again?

Thank you very much!

You can use Notepad++ for do it.
