Thanks Diana for letting me know about the replace function. A
little more research and my problem was solved.

Or you could use the query to put a character in the front of each true record, something like select '#' || col1, col2, col3, .... and then use the SQL*Loader commands for concatenating records. Can't remember offhand how that one works, though...

Having this typical problem with sql*loader. I am extracting data out from a table and this table has a field in which users have put in a new line feed character. Now when I extract the data out using SQL*PLUS it obviously has a problem eg. 1 First line of stt 2333232 Second line 2 Full line 2323232 3 Again a partial 2323232 line. Now if such a table was extracted to a txt file, the sqlldr runs into a problem of getting the second half of the line as expected. Any ideas how this could be avoided ? Hope I explained that okay.
