A TEXT field holds such a sequence and does absolutely no conversion of it. You're not giving a lot of information on what you're trying to do and what goes wrong, but most likely what you get out is exactly what you put in. Could it be that you've done some unwanted pre- or postprocessing of your data, such as escaping some HTML entities? //C - vague -- Carl Troein - Círdan / Istari-PixelMagic - UIN 16353280 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://pixelmagic.dyndns.org/~cirdan/ Amiga user since '89, and damned proud of it too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
