Using Red Hat 8.0, mysql-3.23.52-3, and phpMyAdmin-2.3.3. I'm importing a bunch of old posts from one bboard system (Ezboards) into a new one (Burning Board), and the process left a bunch of HTML "<br>" on the end of each line that is now unwanted. (I'm getting double-spacing.)
I figured this SQL should remove the extraneous breaks: UPDATE `bb1_posts` SET message = REPLACE(message,'<br>\n','\n') WHERE 1; message is a text field usually with multiple lines in a record. Alas, this doesn't seem to find the records that appear in the phpMyAdmin browser with this characteristic, and I get zero records updated. What could I be doing wrong? --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
