The description gets truncated during the import to Zen Cart. The text files being exported are not the issue as far as containing all the description. I don't load descriptions with attributes. Only with a special price change, normal price, quantity and weight updates. I also believe I have tried it with only model and description so the only thing being updated was description.

When I dissected a couple of products the place where it truncated had no special character, it is very strange. I'm going to try again with a description only update. If that doesn't work I'll try updating all descriptions to NULL and reload them and see if that works. I'll let you know how that turns out.
Okay, so EP4 is based heavily on using the right "product" at th right time, with the right information. Off the top of my head, I can't remember if it will properly handle just any old filename, but if you are wanting to updated information that wold be provided in a full export, then the start of the filename needs to closely match the same. Basic filename. (Typically anything up to and including EP4, also the capitalization is important as well.)

When stating that there was no special character, does that mean didn't "see" a special character or was that by bit/byte inspection to verify that each character was an expected alpha-numeric character or end-of-line, etc...? State that becauuse, just because don't see it, doesn't mean it's not there.
