I am not sure if this is the correct forum for this question....so moderator please feel free to move this to the appropriate forum..thank you
Now coming to my issue...I have an application from which I pull data and then upload the data into the database.. This is very huge data and I do it almost 8 to 10times a day..the data I download from the application when uploaded into the database gives an extra character which is a square box at the end of data in few columns...curre ntly what I do is, download the data as a .txt file and open in it notepad and then save it and then upload it into database...by opening and saving in it notepad..it somehow gets rid of the that extra square box.....
please find the attached file..you can open in it in word pad to view the square box..
can somebody please tell me how can I get rid of the square box or is there a way to automate the process of opening and saving the file in notepad...thank you

The square box usually has to do with line returns in windows /r/n. What application are you using to open the file initially? Is this your code? Do you have access to the source files and can you modify them? When you parse your text file search for the /r from the string and remove it or try the same with /n. I have hit this all the time while working with files, just mess around with your carriage returns and that box will be gone.
thank you for the reply.....I can not modify the source code as the application is a third party application. i will try to see if I can do any thing else to remove the /r or /n from the data..thank you
Perhaps you could expand more the entire process and applications involved in this process and perhaps we can help you find an acceptable solution. Perhaps contacting the creators of the program and see if 1 there is an update for the software or two see if there is something you can do to fix the problem. From a programmers standpoint it is easy to fix this problem.

I see nothing wrong with the line terminators in that file, they are correct for windows (\r\n and not just \n) and they are in the correct order.
There *IS* however a null byte in between the two tab characters.
0x09 0x00 0x09 (tab, null byte, tab) which is causing the box.
Probably used as a split point in the application that created it, or something strange in the way you retrieve the data
thank you both for the responses...I will try to see how my data is being extracted.. i mean look into the code..if possible...or ask the provider to help me ..thanks for shedding light on what to look for...

I have a problem with ASP.NET and entering data into a MS SQL database.
I have the following

extra space at the end of

stored procedure? I know this is not necessarily in ASP.NET because I
returned the value with quotes around it and it shows up right, but

Hi All,
I'm trying to write a small sub/function to replace some (invalid) character
in a combo box, or may be even text box. For example, I have several combo
boxes that allows user to select a time value, i.e. 21:30, however I also
want to allow them to enter a time, as a result I want to replace comma,
fullstop etc with a colon ":". I've done this in VB6 keypress event,
however with the "sender", "e" in .net I'm a bit lost... I...

I have a large database (for me) containing about 23,000 records and I

Hello,
Does anyone understand why Data2 would not equal Data? I print, and can see, that they LOOK the same, i.e. have the same number of rows and columns with the same values in each element. But when I pass the matrices to a calc function, they give different results. I am guessing that there is a missing (or extra) character, space, line somewhere that I can't "see".
The only difference is the way that I fill Data1 and Data2....

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
