ArgumentError: Symbol name may not contain \0

I am trying to read a csv file and get: ArgumentError: Symbol name may not contain \0

The csv file is here. It has 270 columns. Some of them are titled in the following pattern: "fmrYY_0".

Does the "_0" part cause the argument error? If yes, are there any options to read the data without changing the names (by hand)?

Thanks a lot for hints and help!

CSV.read(file; normalizenames=true)

Thanks @quinnj - works!

I just read the manual regarding normalizenames. Can you enlighten me: Was the error thrown because of spaces in the column names? Or because _ is an invalid identifier character?

[quinnj]

We use the Base. is_id_char(c) to determine whether a character needs to be replaced for normalizenames; spaces aren't allowed, _ should be fine.
