Getting bcp.exe to escape terminators

Question

I need to export some data using SQL Server 2000\'s BCP utility. Sometimes my data contains characters, such as \\t and \\n, that I need to use as column and row terminator

Answer 1

I have the same problem and searched a long time to find a solution. I found this one from a BCP master and it sounds reasonable. Perhaps you want to try it as well.
