From: Néstor Date: March 15 2010 10:08pm Subject: dash was converted o a wierd character List-Archive: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/220954 Message-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=000e0cd23ab4a96beb0481de1e03 --000e0cd23ab4a96beb0481de1e03 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have an sql file that I dump(mysqldump) and then I installed on a new system and some how the dashes on the file were changed to some wierd character. When I look at the sql file in my windows machine using PUTTY I get stuff like "1.01.A =E2 the second" When I look at the same file from my linux machine via "ssh -y" the I get stuff like "1.01.A =96 the second " All I know is that this wierd character original was a dash (-) How can I search for this character and convert it to a dash? Thanks, Nestor :-) --000e0cd23ab4a96beb0481de1e03--
