Wrap Text

[Anonymous]

I am bringing in an excel document that I want to touch as little as possible but one of the cells has wrapped text in it and I don't know how to get rid of the extra letters it causes.

You can use Keepchar() to keep only characters you want to show or Purgechar() to explicitely drop some characters from your string.

Have a look at the HELP page of both functions.

Will that work on just the one problem cell ?

Can you detail how your input file / data looks like or post a sample file?

So I tried it but it got rid of all the corresponding letters not just the phrase I needed removed

I am just guessing, but you probably want to remove some special characters like a LF character, so maybe try

LOAD

     FIELD,

    Purgechar(FIELD, chr(10)&chr(13) ) as FIELD_PURGED,

     ...

FROM ...;

I may just have to touch the data after all. Thank you for your help!
