Priority task #2809

Updated by Alena Peterová over 3 years ago

When the CSV contains BOM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark), which is very usual for files created on Windows, then the file can't be imported and the exception is very misleading, it says that the column is not found. 
 The BOM is almost nowhere visible - not on Windows, not in vim, not in "less" command. It can be seen during diff. 

 Please support also files with BOM, so it gets ignored during import. 


 Workaround: add some first dummy column to the file, all other columns will be handled well. If the task supports dummy columns.
