Removing Special characters in SSIS

Hi All,

I have a small problem with special characters.

I have a text file that has values like the following for the same column.

"Unique business opportunity that I can’t pass on…"

"Unique business opportunity that I can’t pass on…"

Sometimes it has the hat symbol, the copyright symbol and various special characters. I check for this column too in one of my lookup component to see if this is a new value or not. Since the text file has different special characters it has been added as a new row.

Any generic way of removing special characters from a data file?

Please let me know.

Thanks

Lucki
