Is there a way to export NTEXT data in a csv file?

The issue is, many of the records contain Carriage-return/line-feeds within the NTEXT data so, if I try to use CSV to export the data, the database that is importing the data won't know when a record has ended and a new one has begun.

I am trying to import this data into a DB hosted on GoDaddy.com. I am a new user with this service, and I don't know if they have another way of uploading the data but, in the mean time, I think this is an interesting problem. And, I was just wondering what the accepted way of handling NTEXT data export is.

Thanks very much for any advise you can give.

You can try using a field delimiter as ".



E 12°55'05.63"
N 56°04'39.26"
