That's actually a single space, a dash, and another space: "XYZ Media - AB&E", but every export turns it into: > XYZ Media <96> AB&E I'm not sure if I got your problem correctly here - but if you really want to just replace " <96> " with " - ", then maybe do it with a small sed script? Like sed -f mysed.sed mydump >mydump_fixed, where mysed would be: ===8<=== s/ <96> / - /g ===8<=== Just make sure <96> is the real char copy/pasted from the source - you could copy it e.g. by opening vi with two windows, one with 'mydump', and another with 'mysed.sed' But it does not guarantee there are no other broken chars in your dump. But catching them one by one, and getting also help with iconv as Tom mentioned, you should be able to fix that - good luck! -- --- Artur Pietruk, arturp@xxxxxxxxxx
