Gata Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 I am using Easy Populate to load the products from a Filemaker Pro Database. I have some problems with some of the text showing up correctly. example: St. Martin?s Press New York 1999 SIGNED by author. I would normally be able to fix this by hand using special characters- but I have over 3000 products to upload. Is there a mod or script available to clean up these entries? Has anyone had this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humara Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Even though its 5 months old here, your question does have a fairly simple answer. I didn't even know what oscommerce was 5 months ago. Anyway, you can use a find and replace utility in almost any text editor. Of course this is accomplished on the tab delimited file once you export it from the database. For example, open the .txt file with bbedit or some similar program. dreamweaver also has a find and replace. search for the character, type in the character that you want to replace it with, hit the "all" button. and it will replace all instances with the new character. save the text file and continue with easy populate. booyashaka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
