Hi Kyle,

do you know a database program, who has multiple lines in a field?
In my case, i use MS access and i have multiple lines in one field like
your description. I export the table with text format and after this, i
use 

perl  -npi -e "s:\n:\<BR\>:g" <the-exported-file>

and have one-line string in my field "comment".

This is my suggestion!
