Hi Andrew, So you mean to say we need to replace \\ in data. If so the data what we receive is huge chunk(we cannot open in notepad++ also) . If we can pass the CSV instead of .txt or any other format. Do we have any solution. if Yes Can you please give me some example.

If you use this format it is therefore your responsibility to ensure that any literal \ characters in the data are escaped as \\, and that any literal appearance of the delimiter character or a newline is also escaped.
