I thought I had put an example of the SQL syntax in my e.mail, but yes, I have tried it with both single and double quotes: update products_description set products_description = replace(`products_description`,"\t"," ") where products_id = "37"; and update products_description set products_description = replace(`products_description`,'\t',' ') where products_id = "37"; For right now, I am only doing this on one record, for testing, but when I get the syntax right, the where clause will be removed. Currently, mysql reports: Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) Rows matched: 1 Changed: 0 Warnings: 0 regardless if I use single quotes or double quotes in the replace() call.
