Can't be sure without an example but if you could please post a link to a (Zipped) instance, I'd be happy to take a look.

Meanwhile, please note you can use the Character Inspector palette (via Window -> Palettes) to identify any individual character (or string), and depending on the desired outcome, you can use Zap Gremlins and/or search & replace with characters in hex escape form (as detailed in Chapter 7 of the PDF manual).

I often convert database content moving from one type of database to the other. I always hit an issue with the soft returns in data within fields, where line breaks were entered in the application - they convert into weird characters when exported to text. Is there any way of cleaning these up in BBEdit without interfering with the hard returns that delineate a new record? I usually work in Excel or Filemaker pro.
