I have a one time load of an extremely large file. It's a tab delimited file, the problem I'm getting is importing the following field. C:\Borland\server\bin\gbak.exe - The field how it looks on the import file (it's delimited by tabs) C:Borlandserver ingbak.exe - How it looks once it is imported into MySql Between the "ver ing" there is a tab character that I can't get to show on this e-mail I think it's interpreting the \b (from server\bin) as a tab character or something. Without editing the entire file how can I get around this problem? I would also like to see the '\' in the database if possible. Following is the load statement that I am using for loading the data. load data local infile "e:/data_in/keyaudit.kau" into table tbl_KeyAudit; MySql version is 3.23.28-gamma-debug Debra Samsom Bristol Aerospace Ltd.
