Its working perfectly ... thank you....

i am getting bigger ascii values also like 49457 ... these are not converting.... any solution for this ...

ASCII values are defined to be - 0...127, 8 bit "ASCII" 0...255, which is usually called UTF-8 If you have values larger than 255, you are dealing with something other than ASCII.

Are you sure the number 49457 is correct? Something is not right here.

Thanks jim.

Actually we are getting korean and china characters along with french characters in the file which is received in unix. when we are receiving the file with ascii values, values are getting bigger like 54356 some thing like this because of korean characters.

Please suggest me a solution regarding this.. on how to hold korean characters and china characters in unix and load to database.
