multiline text in varchar2 field - oracle

Question

I have a multiline date, and I'd like to insert it in a table. Then of course, I'd like to retrieve it while preserving the places of cartridge returns.
For example. I have data like this in text file
-------------------------------
| ID | text |
| | |
| 01 | This is headline. |
| 02 | This is all the text.|
| | ¤ |
| | Of great story once |
| 03 | Great weather |
-------------------------------
The ¤ is the indicator of cartridge return. When I try to run the query then data comes like this:
-------------------------------
| ID | text |
| | |
| 01 | This is headline. |
| 02 | This is all the text.|
| 03 | Great weather |
-------------------------------
What I'd like to have in table: (I have no idea how to show cartridge return in the example below)
-----------------------------------------------------
| ID | text |
| | |
| 01 | This is headline. |
| 02 | This is all the text. Of great story once |
| 03 | Great weather |
-----------------------------------------------------
Which is of course, wrong as the data for ID 02 wasn't imported completely.
Here is my script:
LOAD DATA
INFILE "file.txt" BADFILE "file.bad" DISCARDFILE "file.dsc"
APPEND
INTO TABLE text_table
FIELDS TERMINATED BY X'7C' TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
employee_id,
exp_pro CHAR(4000)
)
Any ideas?

Answer 1

First make sure the issue isn't with how you're viewing the data (or the IDE used). Sometimes viewers will simply stop at a linefeed (or carriage return, or some binary char).
Try dumping a hex representation of some data first. for example:
with txt as (
select 'This is line 1.' || chr(13) || chr(10) || 'Line 2.' as lines
from dual
)
select dump(txt.lines, 16) from txt;
You should be able to see the 0d0a (crlf) chars, or whatever other "non-printable" chars exists, if any.
