    Description

      mongoimport failed when the json content contains ascii code like 0x01, 0x02..

      The file content is:

      {"a":"test1","b":"1"}
      {"a":"test2^B","b":"2"}  
      {"a":"test3","b":"4"}
      

      B is not two charachters ( + B)but one which can be input using ctrl+b in vim editor.

      When importing this file using mongoimport -d test -c a --file=test.json, it fails and complains the error:
      Failed: error processing document #2: invalid character '\x02' in string literal
      imported 0 documents
