Export to Flat File issues plz help me on with it...

  • I am trying to export a table to flat file using Pipe Delimited(Doesnt matter if its other delimited also).

    There is a column which has datatype varchar(512) when exported to flat file it comes into next line instead of single row such as

    33439476|Box|W|BI|GSDN|C|0|4347|Watch Video to learn more.<ul class=bullet_

    primary_sm><li>Works on High Definition or Standard Definition TVs</li><li>Watch HD and standard defin

    ition programming</li><li>^M

    Access to extensive Video on Demand library with HD and SD Content</li><li>Interactive Media Guide</li

    >||N|N|N|

    The above matter belongs to a single column but the text has come into next line.

    There is an embedded “END OF LINE” comes in as part of this record which make is look like 2 rows for loading instead of one line.

    Please help me how to do this i have tried to replace the empty space and tab space but nothing has worked ou tplease help how to get in single row....

    Thanks,

    Is this a one time job? I'm asking because I had a similar problem and found it easier to do it manually from SSMS. Basically I Selected All columns from the table, then selected all the data, copied and pasted into excel, then saved the file in a csv format (in my case).
