URL File extra spaces

[Jim MacConnell]

Encountered this for first time last week when file exported by script from ERP system was different than a manual export. Issues was UTF-8 vs UTF-16 I believe. I didn't have to deal with it though. Simply pointed out the issue to the database guy and he changed the export format. Solved my problem... Not yours.
