| Hello,We have an SQL server system where in we have a data that seems to be manually entered and have got a weird character at its end not sure if its carriage return or tab as belowJ->where -> is that junk character I m seeing in dataselect REPLACE(REPLACE('J->', CHAR(10), ''), CHAR(13), '')I need to replace this -> with spaces. The data type of this field is char(10) and for this particular record it appears to be on 2nd character. |

If you do want to replace the CHAR(10) and char(13) with spaces or blanks, what you are doing is correct. But I suspect the characters are something other than those two. You can find what those are usingSELECT CAST('J->' AS VARBINARY)When I do that with the string you posted, I get this:0x4A2D3E1A Now, you can replace any of the four characters that you want to - for example, to replace the second character:REPLACE('J->',CHAR(0x2D),'') |
