Sachin, You did not say whether you worked in a *nix or Microsoft environment. If in *nix, use "od -x <filename>. This will list all of the characters in your file in hex format.

Hi all, I have a file (written from C prog) which contains some records. In order to delimit the records, the programmer has used some invisible characters. Now I want to read that file and update / insert records into the database with perl. But I don't know what is the invisible character. Can anyone please help me out?
