Re: Weird character in excel

[Danny Mui]

could be a string encoding issue with char sets and the such.  im very 
weak with that kind of stuff so maybe changing encoding is one way to do 
this.

worse case scenario?  string replace..

Hello,
I'm having problems storing a string into our Sybase database. The culprit is 
the '-' between 75 and 99; HEX value 13. It looks like a hyphen (HEX 2D) but it 
really isn't. Is there a way to change the weird hyphen to the normal one? 
Below is a dump from biffview. When trying to store the string in the database 
it comes up as 75 ? 99%.
Thanks in advance.
