Since you have the string in question, and the funky character is non-printable, do this: <?php $string = "funky-ass string from Filemaker"; for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($string); $i++){ $c = $string[$i]; //Yes, it's deprecated. Whatever. $o = ord($c); if ($o < 65) echo "Found character with ASCII value: ", $o, "<br />\n"; } ?> Once you know what the ASCII value is, figuring out what to do about it gets pretty trivial. You could also open the files in a Hex editor and find out what the character is, but the it's not a PHP question :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
