The character encoding is creating issue try with chrw

Or alternately go with regex replace

Try this code which will check for null or empty before operation.

Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(
    Convert.ToString(
        If(IsDBNull(inputRow("goods_description")), "", inputRow("goods_description"))
    )
) AndAlso
Convert.ToString(
    If(IsDBNull(inputRow("goods_description")), "", inputRow("goods_description"))
).
    Trim().
    Replace("", "").
    Replace(Chr(160), "").
    Replace(Chr(9), "").
    ToUpper() = "CONSOLIDATION"

Hi @MD_Farhan1,

It may not be an issue with the logic you’ve implemented. Based on the error message, it appears to be related to a .NET encoding issue.

Could you search your project for “1252” or Windows-1252 and check if it’s being used anywhere? If you find any references, that’s where the issue is occuring.

Thanks!

Hello UiPath Experts, I have a modern project (.NET 6) and I need to read a CSV file with Windows-1252 encoding. It’s the same problem as here : .NETCore (modern) project, cannot write file with Windows-1252 encoding But I can’t add the “System.Text.Encoding.CodePages” nor import the “System.Text.CodePagesEncodingProvider” namespace… How can I solve this problem ?
