Hello,

Hope all is well. I am facing a problem when i am trying to get table information from a web page. The table has 6 rows but in some rows when i pass the table to a datatable and then to excel, the process put special chactars to replace letters. This problem is not with all rows, is random

For example:

Firts Row has the following text: "[LD] Compra de suministros de oficina Encargado de publicación, gestión de objeciones y apertura : JACQUELINE RODRIGUEZ RODRIGUEZ " and it's ok.

Second Row has the following text: "[LD] ART��CULO Y MATERIALES PARA USO M��DICO Y HOSPITALARIO Encargado de publicación, gestión de objeciones y apertura : JORGE LUIS MARIN PORRAS".

How can i fix this problem?

I'll stay tuned for your comments

Hi ti-distribucion,

The issue is related to the accent marks included in some of the table fields.

We have opened a research ticket to investigate support for this unknown characters.

In the meantime, you can replace the special characters with question marks "?" using a unicode conversion.

For example: System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("ASCII").GetBytes("YOUR TEXT"))

Thanks!
