I use GAM to upload signatures to users but I am getting an error in GAM. It worked before but now gives me unicode errors.

I am using cam csv to pull ~email and ~signature. I get the following error when I run the command:

gam.py:5829: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal

I thought maybe it was because it wouldn't be encoded in UTF-8 by excel so I open it in notepad and saved it as UTF-8 but instead get a different error:

ERROR: Header "email" not found in CSV headers of "email,signature".

The last time I ran this was in an older version of GAM but nothing else has changed.

Didn't realise charset works with gam csv but I am still presented with original error UnicodeWarning.

Stephen,

Do you get any output at all?

Stephen,

I've corrected the problem in my Basic Gam Version: https://github.com/taers232c/GAM-B
This is a drop-in replacement for standard GAM, no new projects are required.

Save your CSV file as UTF-8, then, with my Gam-B:

gam csv usersig.csv charset utf-8 gam user ~email signature ~signature

Thanks, what's your recommendation on installing this, you say its a basic version?

Do I install it side by side with existing GAM or replace GAM with it? Is there functionality missing with this version?

Stephen,

Either will work, there is no functionality missing, it is Jay's version with additional fixes.
