how to remove "^J" in a variable

Hi
i have a strange thing i have made a script to retrieve the result of an SQL command with sqlplus and if i do an echo to my variable it displays well.
But when i tried to do an update in my oracle table there is a special character at the beginning of my variable.

here is how i have detected in unix the strange char
Code:
 sed -n l date_file.txt
2012-02-25 01:05:27 +0100$
2012-02-25 01:05:27 +0100$
dt_extract_leads_bf=`sqlplus -s $UID/$PSWD@$SID <<++
                set heading off
                  set feedback off
                select value from cleadm.tbpamtecle where name='lastFDWHLDate';
               exit;
               ++`
tr -d '\r' < $dt_extract_leads_bf > date_file.txt

result=`sqlplus -s $UID/$PSWD@$SID <<++
        set heading off
        set feedback off
        UPDATE CLEADM.TBPAMTECLE SET VALUE = '${dt_extract_leads_bf}' where name = 'lastFDWHLDate';
   exit;
++`

./test_udpate.sh
A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
test_udpate.sh[19]: ^J^J2012-02-25 01:05:27 +0100: 0403-016 Cannot find or open the file.

thanks

thanks i have already solved my problem like that
Code:
temp_dt_extract_leads_bf=`sqlplus -s $UID/$PSWD@$SID <<++
                set heading off
                  set feedback off
                select TRIM(value) from cleadm.tbpamtecle where name='lastFDWHLDate';
               exit;
               ++`

dt_extract_leads_bf=`echo $temp_dt_extract_leads_bf | tr -s "\n" ""`
