Re: Identical command-line command will not work with \i metacommand and filename

Yeesh.  What the ding-dong is this?

JohnGage:EFNWebsite johngage$ od -a CopySql.sql
0000000    ?   ?   ?   s   e   l   e   c   t  sp   *  sp   f   r   o   m
0000020   sp   m   e   s   h   _   d   e   s   c   r   i   p   t   o   r
0000040    s   ;  nl  nl

What are the ?'s.  Mon Dieu, what is going on?

This is a file that runs perfectly well in pgAdmin and that I edit in
Vim.

Sorry to be so ignorant and thanks,

John Gage
