mysql-query
I would like to query my table for how many rows contain one or more instances of <CR><LF><LF>. I can't figure out the correct syntax. I would try
LIKE '%<CR><LF><LF>%',but I don't know how to specify these special characters. I did try
where mydata REGEXP '%[.CR.][.LF.][.LF.]%',and that didn't get a syntax error but neither did it return any rows. So, I realized I need a way to insert the test data as well!
Note: I am using mysql 5.0.
