| Hi All - We have an issue with one of our flat files where alot of the values for NVARCHAR fields are appended with special character "-á"I have about 70 columns. I'm currently using the REPLACE function below, however I don't want to repeat it for all 70 columns. Is there a function/procedure that can repeat it for all columns?THANKS! UPDATE ProductExportList SET [Rep Name] = REPLACE ([Rep Name],'-á','') |

In SSMS, set the output to text and execute this. Then copy/paste the results back in and execute them.SELECT 'UPDATE ProductExportList SET [' + name + '] = REPLACE([' + name + '],''-á'','''');GO'FROM sys.columnsWHERE object_id = object_id('ProductExportList') |
