  • What file format are you working with? If it's text based, I would suggest converting the encoding to UTF-8.

    Check the attributes for any non UTF characters. If there are too many, try removing all fields you don't need for the analysis.

  • @Geoist That's good advice. Given that a batch dialog has thrown this exception, one ought to suspect the problem may lie in the name of one of the files rather than in any of the attributes stored in those files. The error message is clear: look for a file name (fully qualified, I suspect) containing the high-end ASCII character 0xf3 ("ó") as its 71st character.

As whuber pointed, the problem its with the name of the file. Rename it without using accents or spaces or any non basic character.
