Event with character literal

Hi ,
Is there any support in flume to handle the character literal when send event from file using spooling directory ?
Example 
i am move the file using spooling directory which contain the following text 
Hi,\r\nHow are you ?
i need it to be stored in HDFS as 
Hi,How are you ?
it is working fine when i send message to flume source directly like JMS source or Http source. But not working in spooling directory.
Thanks.

You need an interceptor that will interpret the escaped characters in
the file. You could probably use the MorphlineIntercepter[1] to do
this.
