Export Long Text Area using DataLoader?

Hi - is it possible to export a field that is of type "Long Text Area" into a CSV using the Apex Data Loader? I tried that and it seems like Apex Data Loader is not exporting the field. I know we can't filter on a Long Text Area using the WHERE clause, but is there anywhere in the documentation that says it is possible? Thanks for the help.

Hi,

 

I think, Exporting longtext field using dataloader is not possible.

 

Mark it as resolved if it helps you.

It is possible but it is giving me data with brackets such as "p><span style="font-family: Arial; background-color: white; ">   <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; background-color: white; ">Martketing Team: </span></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; background-color: white; ">During my trip.......". How to extract data with out these?

Hi Jo Jo force. You said it is possible, but how would you do it? Long Text Area fields do not seem to appear in the fields list for export in Apex DataLoader.
