Hi I have a text file which I need to import into Access or SQL.

It is 500,000 records which is pipe delimited. The problem is, is that it can contain carriage returns: (square symbol).

Therefore I need to find and replace these characters

Does anybody know of any free ware text file viewers that can do this??

You could use TextPad

http://textpad.com/

Once you have it installed, you can use the replace option.

I have a question for same topic but in the reverse -- how to create pipe delimited file in sql/access/excel with last field of each record ending in carriage returns rather than a delimiter?

This should be the normal case.
Row delimiter is CR.
