RE: [ic] Import / Export in Excel carriage returns

First question is what version of Ic are you using and second did you
declare in your products database that you are using Excel. You should have:

Database products EXCEL 1 

listed in your catalog.cfg file.

Subject: [ic] Import / Export in Excel carriage returns


Hi folks...

Have you guys encountered problems after importing / exporting data in
Excel where the end of line characters are taken into the SQL database
and muck up your values ?

For instance, I entered some products thru the web interface into
category abc and when I entered a whole bunch more in Excel, they
appeared as abc^M or abc\r

So, when the category in the left nav bar is clicked I'd get

--------------
|    abc     |
------------------------------
| products                   |
------------------------------
--------------
|    abc     |
------------------------------
| products                   |
------------------------------

It's because the search sees abc and abc\r as two diff values. I know
I can do a complex search, but that is not getting to the root of the
problem. Any gurus with advice?

Thanks.

Alex Lam
