I need to replace a non printable character, A small white square

[Melissa]

I have a discription for an item i'm uploading on to my website. But it won't
upload the small white square or rectangle. I need to replace that item with
a hard enter. Anyone have any suggestions?

What are you copying from and to? I mean what applications? Excel? Notepad?
into what? An .htm file page?

If it's being copied to an .htm file, try replacing the non-printables with
the <br> html tag - which is the equivalent of linefeed w/carriage return.
<br> = Break. If you'r unfamiliar with html, you need to type all of that,
including the leading and trailing <> symbols.

It's an unknow file but opens in excel. There is a white box where there is a
carriage/return. I want to find all the boxes and replace with the <br>. When
i Copy and bring the character over here it's shows up as nothing. It's some
kind of unicode character.

what does the filename end with? something like .xls or .xl-some other
letter, or .txt or maybe .csv? Have you tried opening it with Notepad? If
you want, and it doesn't contain confidential information you could attach it
to an email and send it to 2kmaro @ dslr.net (remove spaces) and I'll take a
look at it and see if I can't take this to the next level for you?
