Carrage Returns \ Line Breaks!
Hello all,
I have a file that I am trying to import/copy into a table. The problem
that I am having is that there are carriage returns through out the
document. These carriage returns should be copied into the column it
belongs to yet during the
copy table from '/home/location/file.ext' using delimiters '|';
I get errors when it hits the carriage return. Can i get around this?

You should convert the carriage returns into the literal text '\n'. Are
they ^J or ^M?

Okay now I am an Idoit. How do I tell what is used for the carriage
return? I know how to make the replacement I just can not tell they
characters used.
