Hi,

A field with a char like "é" will stop the field reading.

So where we have something loke "Jérémy" with a value imported of "J".

Can you tell me the PHP version, Drupal version and whether you are running this on Windows?

Thanks.

I can confirm the same issue with spanish characters -- ó for example -- if ó is present in a field, it is not imported for the field mapping.

drupal 5.7 on php 5.2.6, not Windows

UPDATE: I found this reply: http://drupal.org/node/84479#comment-919138, opened the csv file in notepad and chose utf-8 -- it fixed my problem.

I had the same problem: How to encode in UTF-8?
I found the answer on http://drupal.org/node/84479#comment-919138 :
"The solution is to open the .csv file using notepad, then choose save as, and change the encoding to UTF-8. My import data truncation problems were eliminated!"
