Parse Integer From Text File Error With Java

I am trying to write a function that is able to take a text file and separate each line into individual strings and adds them to an array, after which I will take the strings and convert the numbers into Integers or Doubles. However, it keeps returning a NumberFormatException whenever I try to do Integer.parseInt() on the first string in the array, which is always an integer.

This code is a simplified version of what I am attempting to do:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class test {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        try {

            File file = new File("preprocessed_data.txt");

            Scanner scanner = new Scanner(file);

            while(scanner.hasNextLine()) {

                String line = scanner.nextLine();

                if (line.length() != 0) {

                    // Splitting each line into an array of Strings
                    String[] strings = line.split("\\s+");

                    // Trying to convert the first String into an Integer
                    System.out.println(Integer.parseInt(strings[0]));

                }
            }

        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

}

This is the text file which I am trying to process:

And this is the error which I keep getting:

The text file I was attempting to process was encoded with UTF-8, and once I switched it to ANSI it removed the invisible characters in the beginning of the file and the code worked.

This looks like invisible characters, because your code works for me.

I would highly recommend opening the file in an editor like the notepad.exe on windows and make sure, that there are no invisible characters.
