Hello Everyone,

I found a way to achive,  read the text and search for the special character with ascii value and trim. Below is the script that i have used. Hope this might help other, Hence sharing

set FSO= createobject("Scripting.FilesystemObject")
set openReconFile=FSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Qlikview\buildsql.txt")
scriptBackup= openReconFile.ReadAll

openReconFile.Close

If (Len(Trim(scriptBackup)) > 0) Then
Dim AscValue : AscValue = Asc(Trim(scriptBackup))
If ((AscValue = -15441) Or (AscValue = 239)) Then
scriptBackup = Mid(Trim(scriptBackup),4) :
End If
End If
