Please stand by @MKhere as I search the knowledge base. I normally take about 20 seconds or so. :wave:

In LlamaIndex, you can specify the encoding while using the PagedCSVReader or SimpleDirectoryReader.

For PagedCSVReader, you can pass the encoding parameter during the initialization of the reader. Here is an example:

Plain Text
PagedCSVReader(*args, encoding="utf-8-sig", **kwargs)


For SimpleDirectoryReader, you can also specify the encoding parameter like this:

Plain Text
SimpleDirectoryReader(input_dir="path/to/directory", encoding="utf-8-sig")


Please note that the default encoding for these readers is 'utf-8'. If you want to use 'utf-8-sig', you need to specify it explicitly.

@kapa.ai what is the difference between pagedcsvreader and csvreader
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
I'm sorry, but the provided knowledge sources do not contain specific information about a CSVReader in the context of LlamaIndex. They only provide information about PagedCSVReader, which is a CSV parser that displays each row in an LLM-friendly format on a separate document.

If you're referring to a generic CSVReader, it's important to note that such a reader typically reads CSV files and converts them into some form of data structure for further processing. The PagedCSVReader in LlamaIndex, on the other hand, is specifically designed to parse CSV files into a format that's friendly for Language Models (LLMs), with each row represented as a separate document.

For more specific differences between PagedCSVReader and CSVReader, you may need to refer to the specific documentation or source code of the CSVReader you're referring to.
