Thanks for the reply. I generated a file as you suggested and looked at the readable character it put in to the TextCSV file the showed up as "bread"$ where the $ was coloured blue. There was a $ characters after every line so when I tried in import it again I have all the names listed in a single column with each on a different row.
So I tried to change the text file I had generated with the files names in it. The $ was just put in as a $ straight from the key board (just in black) but when the text files was imported using TextCSV into open office all the file names were in one row and one column.
Clearly the $ was not being recognised as a control character.
Do not quite know where to go from here

dblink_build_sql_insert
DBLINK_BUILD_SQL_INSERT(3) PostgreSQL 9.2.7 Documentation DBLINK_BUILD_SQL_INSERT(3)
NAME
dblink_build_sql_insert - builds an INSERT statement using a local tuple, replacing the primary key field values with alternative supplied
values
SYNOPSIS
dblink_build_sql_insert(text relname,
int2vector primary_key_attnums,
integer num_primary_key_atts,
text[] src_pk_att_vals_array,
text[] tgt_pk_att_vals_array) returns text
DESCRIPTION
dblink_build_sql_insert can be useful in doing selective replication of a local table to a remote database. It selects a row from the local
table based on primary key, and then builds a SQL INSERT command that will duplicate that row, but with the primary key values replaced by
the values in the last argument. (To make an exact copy of the row, just specify the same values for the last two arguments.)
ARGUMENTS
relname
Name of a local relation, for example foo or myschema.mytab. Include double quotes if the name is mixed-case or contains special
characters, for example "FooBar"; without quotes, the string will be folded to lower case.
primary_key_attnums
Attribute numbers (1-based) of the primary key fields, for example 1 2.
num_primary_key_atts
The number of primary key fields.
src_pk_att_vals_array
Values of the primary key fields to be used to look up the local tuple. Each field is represented in text form. An error is thrown if
there is no local row with these primary key values.
tgt_pk_att_vals_array
Values of the primary key fields to be placed in the resulting INSERT command. Each field is represented in text form.
RETURN VALUE
Returns the requested SQL statement as text.
NOTES
As of PostgreSQL 9.0, the attribute numbers in primary_key_attnums are interpreted as logical column numbers, corresponding to the column's
position in SELECT * FROM relname. Previous versions interpreted the numbers as physical column positions. There is a difference if any
column(s) to the left of the indicated column have been dropped during the lifetime of the table.
EXAMPLES
SELECT dblink_build_sql_insert('foo', '1 2', 2, '{"1", "a"}', '{"1", "b''a"}');
dblink_build_sql_insert
--------------------------------------------------
INSERT INTO foo(f1,f2,f3) VALUES('1','b''a','1')
