Sure, Thanks!

The LOAD statement:

LOAD DATA INFILE '/home/data.csv' into table data2 FIELDS TERMINATED BY
',' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n';

The data string is very long. To simplify matters I'll give you and
example of the field whose data I'm having problems with:
"*955665"

That's it. Just a number that is preceded by a *

Thanks again,
Mike
