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 olm@technologist.com
