Hi, I want to read a csv file (tab seperated) but the file reader fails due to HTML tags inside a text-field. The HTML tags are only in a few text-fields of the 250 lines. Is it possible to scrap it anyhow during reading or any other workaround? Edit: Maybe the problem is caused (I am currently not sure if this is the only problem) by two HTML tags (a closing a new beggining tag): which have a not visible char maybe a tabulator or a return between the two >< . Is it possible to remove it from the reader? Edit2: I attached a test file which shows the problem. test.txt (1.7 KB)

You could try to use Readr R package to read more complex CSV files
