Hi I have a text file which I need to import into Access or SQL.
It is 500,000 records which is pipe delimited. The problem is, is that it can contain carriage returns: (square symbol).
Therefore I need to find and replace these characters
Does anybody know of any free ware text file viewers that can do this??

Hi All,
I am experiencing problem to select text wich has carriage return in my search functionality.
I have two tables called @searchwordTable and @DataTable.
@searchWordTable will have search criteria words(data type is varchar) and @DataTable will titles(data type is ntext) need to be searched. Some of titles have carriage return,line feed and tab characters. I am preseting here script to reproduce my problem.
DECLARE @searchwordTable TABLE
(
searchword VARCHAR(MAX)
)
INSERT INTO @searchwordTable (searchword) VALUES('carriage long description')
DECLARE @DataTable TABLE
(
title ntext
)
INSERT INTO @DataTable (title) values('carriage long description'+char(13)+char(10)+'carriagelong')
SELECT * FROM @DataTable dTable,@searchwordTable srcWrdTable
WHERE '% ' + REPLACE(CAST(dTable.title AS VARCHAR(MAX)),char(13),'') + ' %' like '% ' + srcWrdTable.searchword + ' %'
I am expecting the above select statement should select title from @DataTable but not getting .I am not understanding what is going wrong with above select.
Thanks in Advance.

How do i remove Carriage return in a varchar column?
Thanks
Hi,
I've a text column (text datatype) that contains carriage return and line feed.
Syntax-wise, how can I replace these by a space?
Thanks.
I've been looking for this online and on MSDN but no luck. I simply want to find all my CR in specific columns and later Replace them with a string (ie. --THIS-IS-A-CR--). The problem is I cannot even find/search CHAR(13) by using variations of the query below.
SELECT *
FROM Incident
WHERE (description LIKE '%CHAR(13)%') --I know this is incorrect
I have the following scenario, The contents of main file are like :
ServerCentral|||||forum|||||||||||||||is||||||the||best
so||||||be|||||on||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||it
And I need the output in the following form:
ServerCentral=forum=is=the=best
so=be=on=it
The logic being that multiple and consecutive occurrences of the special character, here - pipe , should be replaced by a single special character.
While retrieving user input from an input control, eg: multi-line textbox, and inserting it into the database, the carriage return or the 'Enter' key is not getting inserting into the database.. instead it inserts a quad ( square ) in the database.. also the text typed after the 'Enter' key is not getting inserted into the database.. please help.

I am using BCP and one of the tables in my SQL contains a column of type nvarchar(500) - whose data are actually email messages such as:
Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2008 11:03 PM
To: Kathy Shouner
Cc: Brent Ford; William Dew
Subject: RE: Revision of presentation schedule
I support the recommended revisions.
When I open the datafile, it spans 6 separate lines - probably ending in carriage returns (not sure how to confirm this). Hence, I am having a problem importing it to my table. When I query the database, it appears as one line under that column - which is the way it should be.
My BCP command is something like this:
BCP "select email_msg, email_id from emails" QUERYOUT "c:email.txt" -c -T -S sunny.erwin.com
I experimented with -w, -n, -N already but still am failing to get the proper output.
Please help... Thanks in advance.

How do i insert a carriage return at the end of an record that's being sent to a flat file? Currently, I get one long string, and would like for SSIS to put carriage returns at the end of each line.
Any ideas?

How do I enable SQL Management Studio to allow me to directly copy text with carriage returns into a table?
I know that I can use the CHAR(13) statement when using T-SQL insert/update statements ('some text' + char(13) + 'some more text').
However when I copy text with carriage returns directly into a table column by right clicking the table, opening the table and editing the row directly, all text after the first carriage return vanishes. Only the text before the first carriage return is committed.
Please help.
I have a table that contains file paths as
ServernamefolderAfilenameA
ServernameFolderBFilenameB
and I need a query to return
ServernamefolderA
ServernameFolderB
I tried
SELECT DISTINCT left(Source, charindex('', Source)- 0) AS String
FROM Table
But that removes everything after the first and I need it to return all data before the last
When I make a call to a stored procedure to update a record, the update does not happen. No error is thrown, there are just no rows updated. When I look at SQL Server Profiler, this is what I see:
exec TTN_Update_RecurringIssueVehicle @RecurringIssueVehicleID='00962233-6EC3-42CE-ABBD-1851F1176D63',@RecurringIssueID='66FE821A-9881-4368-B975-5B04975C5E16',@RecurringIssueProblemID='ABED20CD-CB37-4491-903F-553555EEE47C',@MarketID=1,@VehicleNumber=268,@AddedDate=N'12/14/2006 3:30:00 PM',@AddedBy=12,@ResolvedDate=N'12/15/2006 10:19:45 AM',@ResolvedBy=12
It seems to be putting a carriage return in the middle of one of my date parameter values, and also seems to be putting those values in double quotes. If I try to run this in SQL Management Studio, it throws an error. If I take out the carriage return, and fix the quotes, it succeeds. Here is my VB.Net code:
<DataObjectMethod(DataObjectMethodType.Update)> _
Public Function Update_RecurringIssueVehicle( _
ByVal RecurringIssueVehicleID As Guid, _
ByVal RecurringIssueID As Guid, _
ByVal RecurringIssueProblemID As Guid, _
ByVal MarketID As Integer, _
ByVal VehicleNumber As Integer, _
ByVal AddedDate As DateTime, _
ByVal AddedBy As Integer, _
ByVal ResolvedDate As DateTime, _
ByVal ResolvedBy As Integer) As Integer
dbCmd.CommandText = "TTN_Update_RecurringIssueVehicle"
dbCmd.Parameters.Clear()
dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RecurringIssueVehicleID", RecurringIssueVehicleID)
dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RecurringIssueID", RecurringIssueID)
If RecurringIssueProblemID <> Guid.Empty Then dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RecurringIssueProblemID", RecurringIssueProblemID)
dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@MarketID", MarketID)
dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@VehicleNumber", VehicleNumber)
dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@AddedDate", AddedDate.ToString())
dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@AddedBy", AddedBy)
If ResolvedDate <> DateTime.MinValue Then dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ResolvedDate", ResolvedDate.ToString())
If ResolvedBy <> -1 Then dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ResolvedBy", ResolvedBy)
Dim retVal As New SqlParameter("@RetVal", SqlDbType.Int)
retVal.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue
dbConn.Open()
dbCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
dbConn.Close()
Return CInt(retVal.Value)
End Function
Any ideas are greatly appreciated - thanks
I have a stored proc that builds a character string from a number of rows returned from a select query. Is there anyway to insert a carriage return after I append the value of each row to the string variable?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
Hi there, I hope you can help us.
We're using this statement to import some values into a database:
SQLStatement = "INSERT MyTable (ID, VALUE) VALUES ('" & IDString & "', '" & VALUEString & "')"
The problem is that the strings might contain carriage returns/line feeds, i.e.
VALUEString = "Line 1." & vbCrLf & "Line 2."
It only imports up until the first vbCrLf. We have tried replacing vbCrLf with "", but this doesn't work either. What is the correct format for inserting a value that contains new line characters?
Thanks for your time,
Lasse.
Hi, I am having trouble removing what must be a carriage return or line feed from a report when exporting. The data in query builder looks like a square.
i am using this expression, but it is not working, and if you import the report into excel, there is a new line after this column.
=Replace((Fields!description.Value),VbCrLF," ")
Thanks
Hi,
I'm using quite odd combination of technology for my project, I'm using PHP and MSSQL 2000, at one certain page, I want to insert to a table where one of the column is TEXT data type, and I want to get the value from the TEXTAREA at the page, of course, with carriage return captured, I manage to get it done in MySQL, where it automatically store the carriage return keyed in by user at the TEXTAREA, while for MSSQL I no luck in finding solution for this, is there any settings I can set or I need to convert the carriage return keystroke to HTML tag at my PHP?
Thanks

I've tried using different encodings for the flat file connection, but to no avail. It is also interesting to note that when I close the package and reopen it the flat file destination editor UI also doesn't recognize the carriage returns and places a box in there place.
Below is a copy of the the property as it is written in the package xml:

Is it possible to store a carriage return value or VbCrLf in an NVARCHAR column ?
I need to display a textbox in Reporting Services using one row, but showing multiple lines as a result of a few carriage returns.
Hi All,
I am trying to print 10 values in a single cell in a text box.....
To make it readable I put carriage returns and line feeds into the boxes.
These rendered ok in visual studio but did not render ok in explorer....no carriage return or line feed.
This is what I added...
=Fields!segment_sdesc_00.Value & chr(10) & chr(13)
Can anyone advise me as to what is wrong with this? There must be a way to put a cr/lf or newline into a report in a text box.....
Thanks in Advance

how can i insert a carriage return when i update the field?
say i want to put the following inside a field:
firstline
secondline
how can i update/insert a column to have a return carriage inside it?
UPDATE table SET column = 'firstline secondline'
the reason i want this is because when using a program (Solomon, by microsoft, purchasing software) to grab a field out of the database and when it displays that field in the programs textbox, i want it to be displayed on two separate lines
i tried doing
UPDATE table SET column = 'firstline' + char(13) 'secondline'
but when in the solomon program, it displays an ascii character between firstline and secondline like: firstline||secondline
thanks

Hi,
As you can see, I'm totally new at Sql Server.
I have a problem, I store text into a nvarchar field (could be a 200 or 20,000 characters long string), inside the text there are several carriage returns which I would like to preserve to later presentation, but when retreiving the data from sql server I got the "cr" as "?", also I opened the database from Sql Managment and all cr's were saved as "?".
What can I do to preserve the cr inside each field ?
Thanks in advance.

I am trying to use FOR XML under SQL Server 2014 to write out a large XML data set. I want it to look like
<CVS_Member_Add_Change>
<RecordType>3</RecordType>
<Carrier>1266</Carrier>
<MultiBirthCode>0000000</MultiBirthCode>
<MemberType></MemberType>
[Code] ....
That's how it looks when you click on the results of a small subset of the query. Just what I want. Unfortunately when you try to right click and save it you get
<dataroot><CVS_Member_Add_Change><RecordType>3</RecordType><Carrier>1266</Carrier<MultiBirthCode>0000000</MultiBirthCode><MemberType></MemberType<LanguageCode>1</LanguageCode><DURFlag></DURFlag><DURKey></DURKey><SocialSecurityNumber>000000000</SocialSecurityNumber</CVS_Member_Add_Change>
Everything being on one line blows up the translator application that reads the data.
The FOR XML statement copied out of the query is below.
FOR XML RAW ('CVS_Member_Add_Change'), ROOT('dataroot'), ELEMENTS
