1. They may look like 'dots' to you, but they are probably unprintable char and are represented as 'dots', when you view the input.
2. what is the exact field definition of the input. are there always 1 dot or 2 dots or? what defines what characters are usable?
when you are in view or edit mode and looking at the input, use hex on to determine what your input. |

A slight correction. . . You need to understand "the dots" before you try to do anything with/about them.
I suspect that whether there is one or two dots, the space preceeding the "good data" is still 2 bytes (looks like some length attribute?). Does this string come from a file, a table, or somewhere else?
As DBZ mentioned, you need to provide some more info for someone to be able to help. |
