Hi, MySQL not encode characters.In your .txt file are NON-PRINTABLE characters which mark the end of line.If you have a HEX editor, you can see in the .txt file at the end of every line '0Dh' and '0Ah'.This mean ENTER('\r) and NEW LINE(\n').If you have a C/C++ manual you can find the list of escape sequence. Regards, Gelu
