Hi all- I am trying to write a query that strips carriage returns from a comment field while selecting the data to a file. I have used the following command -
select replace( field1, chr(10), '*' ) from table1; The query seems to remove the carriage returns when returning the data via sqlplus, but when I spool the output to a file it still shows ^m followed by * in it. Any ideas on what is going on here? Thanks for any help.
