How to handle ÿþ characters at beginning of input file

Hi all,

I have an input file which looks very normal in the file viewer. However, when I load it in the data selector, I am greeted with the characters ÿþ<
After which, I am not able to view anything in the file. I have an idea of what the characters are. But no idea how to fix it. Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions on how to address this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like your file is using UCS-2 LE encoding. You can use the Translator task to convert the file to UTF-8:
