replaced my \n with \r\n and did the \x0a for the soft returns. Now
when it is opened in Excel, there are no question marks in either of
the two columns that I am doing soft returns..
Hi David
The strings "\n" and "\x0A" are identical - it is the translation done
by Perl's IO system that makes the difference.
From this description it looks like you have things working. The
question marks in the fields were surely a bad sign? Please say if you
still need help.
