Hi,

Your component appears to be trying to write to a file using asci encoding, but has encountered a non-ascii character in its data (\u2026 is a unicode ellipsis character). I’m not familiar with the component you are using but can suggest looking for options to set the output file to accept Unicode and/or looking at the incoming data to see whether the ellipsis could be replaced.

Regards
Jeremy

Hi - you need to make sure that your paths don’t include spaces nor any non-ASCII characters.
