text file problems

I'm trying to load database info from a text file into postgresql.  the
text files came with headers and everything.  those were stripped in VI
leaving only the data to be imported.  using COPY FROM I was able to
import 9 0f 15 files no problem.  6 are giving me fits.  I'm thinking
that there is some unreadable control character that is gumming up the
works.  does anyone know of a way to view these unreadable characters so
that I can try to get the files loaded?

thanks
