Question

I have a varchar column that contains the string lol\ncats, however, in SQL Management Studio it shows up as lol cats.

How can I check if the \n is there or not?

Answer 1

SELECT *
FROM your_table
WHERE your_column LIKE '%' + CHAR(10) + '%'

Or…

SELECT *
FROM your_table
WHERE CHARINDEX(CHAR(10), your_column) > 0
