I am using the following swtich in BCP.
-w -T -t"|" -r"" -c -q
Seems like one switch is overiding the other. File looks different but enocoding hasn't changed to unicode.

Yes, the "-c" switch means use ANSI, get rid of it.

David, I downloaded ultraedit. Is unicode file always shows in hexadecimal? I did what you suggested and when I click on 1 character, two bytes are highlighted. But when I opened a non-unicode file, it doesn't open up in hexadecimal.

Several days too late...but it's Ctrl-H to view a file in Hex mode in ultraedit.

'" -T -t"|" -r"" -c -q'

With the switch above, some files are getting generated in ANSI and some are generated in UNICODE...If I want just ANSI, what change do I have to make?
