Gmail Attachment To Google Sheets Problem
Sorry I'm new to this but I'm trying to automatically populate a Google Sheet with data from a spreadsheet which is delivered daily to my Gmail account (primarily because I'd then like to use that as a data source for a Google Data Studio Report...).
I've looked at the following pieces of code already published on Stack Overflow:
Simple script to import gmail csv attachment to google sheets
Import CSV attachment into google sheets
Update Spreadsheet via Email Attachments
In every case I'm getting an output in Google Sheets which opens normally but then adds non alpha numeric symbols in between the numbers in the spreadsheet - e.g.:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bpeTXotjvT2dvTXiivKLd2q6j0m2QDKgQ9CYcPqxsdE/edit?usp=sharing
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tzuAonz7IpYnyYXagj4YG_cNEG6zx_VWx-M17YJubUg/edit?usp=sharing
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UHmmFgwUP5JnFsoxkf6ZhH-a2PeR_5ZHvPv7jWCtsGU/edit?usp=sharing
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nOzFWhhWuRzQo2nrcaw9-rQiimobubI06TA447rAGis/edit?usp=sharing
Can anyone please advise what I'm doing wrong?

I figured it out: the CSV attachement can be encoded in a wide variety ways. The encoding of the file needs to be entered in between the brackets of etDataAsString().
So in my case this was:
getDataAsString('UTF-16')
Without that I thin it will assume the file encoding is UTF_8 by default.
