How to get ridd of Garbage Values in the row from the Tables

Question

Hi Experts,
I have an excel Sheet which has a value as
Name
ABC
PQR
XYZ
MNO
STU
DEF
JKL
So i converted that to a csv (Comma de-limited) file and created an external table out off it.
So when i try to match to "select * from table;" it displys the vlaue as below
*"ABC*
however, it should have been just ABC.
select length(Name) from Table;
O/p: 4 (It Should have been 3)
How to get rid off this garbaje character?
Please Help!!!!!!!
Regards,
Ravi R

You didn't post CSV file. I can't reproduce your issue using the following CSV:
"ABC"
"PQR"
"XYZ"
"MNO"
"STU"
"DEF"
"JKL"
SQL> CREATE TABLE EXT_EMP
  2  (
  3  EMP_L VARCHAR2(255)
  4  )
