Hi and thanks for reading this post!

I have a big problem that must be solved before next friday. If you
could help me to solve it, I'd even be ready to pay you something
(but.. I'm just a Student for the moment :-).

Situation: I have a mysql table with about 400 entries x 100 fields,
and I'd like to import the data from this mysql database into
a Filemaker database (it is not the very last Filemaker version).

I tried to put the data in an tab separated text file, with
one line pro entry, but it doesn't work nicely (it's done using
a Perl script & DBI).

Problems:
- the ��� (accentued letters ä etc...) are not converted correctely
- and the multiline textfields aren't multiline anymore (I have several
fields from type TEXT and GLOB in the mysql table).

Result: that's a real mess :(. I searched in the docs, in some mailing lists
archives and on the web, without finding anything that could help me. 

If anybody had an idea, it would be _great_! :)

Thanks a lot in advance,

Olivier Mueller
