convert text files from UTF-16 to UTF-8

[nadiamazlan]

Hello, I have a text files with code pages UTF-16, and I am having a problem which the Alteryx cannot read my data since its UTF-16. Is there a way for Alteryx to convert from UTF-16 to UTF-8? or is there a way for Alteryx to read UTF-16 flat files?

Hello,

Could you share a sample of your file? It will help us to you the solution.

However when you read the .txt file as csv you can change the page code in the input tool configuration :

Hope this helps,

Thank you for responding, I cant share my files, but here is the dummy files. I prefer using txt files because its easier to divide the column rather than using csv files

Hi @nadiamazlan 

Alteryx should be able to read it. Can you share us the error message.

You can configure like below. All text files will be considered as csv and you can define delimiter.

Hope this helps : )

Thank you, my error is that, I didn't define the delimiter (\0) and I'm usually used flat to open txt files. So for the code pages UTF-16, I can only used csv to read the files.
