        What if the newline was also followed by a carriage return. Would you end up with a sequence of space, carriage return? That's pretty bizarre. :)

          It's replacing a 'literal' new line, so it would replace the CRLF combo with a space.  The horror is not explicitly saying, DON'T REMOVE THIS LINE BREAK!

              Then the replace should happen before the data hits the database.

                  Technically, it is.  The query is to extract data destined for a target database that doesn't like newlines.  It's an edge case, as other target databases are happy with the newlines.

                    I don't see it, obviously the guy who wrote that used XVI32 and doesn't see anything wrong with it...

                      That's the horror.  What don't you see?  The ambiguity between a line wrap and a line break in a SQL statement?

                        Well, I mean the guy who wrote it must have been using a Hex editor and the link break was just another two bytes to him, as he could only see "0D 0A" which looks normal, to him... :laugh: :D
