   Does anyone know an easy way to check/convert output from a MySQL

   messes up the printf() I normally end up doing with those
   entries. Any ideas? So far all you guys have been my saving grace
   in learning this stuff (btw, thanks for the Select/order by info,
   it did exactly what I wanted it to)
   
printf in C or perl or something else?  Can you provide a code snippet
(grabbing and printing) as I am not quite sure the source of your
problem.
