Within my database I have several data fields that contain Line Feeds & Carriage Returns. I would like to export those fields to CSV file, but the problem is that a CSV file is delimited by Commas (to end the column) and Line Feeds (to end the row).

What is the best way to go about exporting the data? I don't want to alter the data as it appears in my database, but I could transform it as it exports & remove CR & LF at that point.

What do you guys think?

Problem solved. If found this bit of code that replaces LF & CR. Also, my data is in NTEXT, so I had to convert it to NVARCHAR to use the REPLACE function.

REPLACE((CONVERT(NVARCHAR(MAX),MyField)), CHAR(13)+CHAR(10), '')
