[AccessD] Import Large delimited file with special character s

Or, you could use replace to get rid of them all, then use replace to
replace each "." with "." & vbcrlf.  This should work unless there are other
periods in the text.

Alternatively, do a find on each crlf, then check the character before the
found crlf and see if it is a period, if it is, then skip the deletion of
the crlf.

Air code:

i=instr(1,str,vbcrlf)
do while i<>0
	if i<>1 then	'if crlf is not the 1st chars
	   if mid$(str,i-1)<>"." then
		str=left$(str,i-1) & right$(str,len(str)-i-1)	'I think the
-1 will work
		end if
         else
            str=right$(str,len(str)-2)	'get all but 2st 2 chars since crlf
at front
	   end if
	i=instr(i,str,vbcrlf)
	loop

Search for two of them together and replace them with one.  That will
clear out any extras.

Thanks Marty...but not all of the CR and LF need to be replaced.  There
still needs to be one at the end of each line.
