CSV Export

[sandeshgb]

I am trying to export data into .csv format, and it gets the below error:
iconv(): Detected an illegal character in input string

In CsvComponent on line 44 i.e. the return iconv()
protected function _encode($str = '') {
return iconv("UTF-8", "WINDOWS-1257", html_entity_decode($str, ENT_COMPAT, 'utf-8'));
}

I'd have to understand what input string you gave it. I didn't actually write this function.
