Re: Import fails on single quote.

OK, it's not as straightforward as an unpaired single quote. I just had one fail on:

"PET'1'"

So the single quote is paired, and caused the problem. So I changed it to "PET 1"...and the whole import worked. But I got suspicious and started looking at the data for single quotes and found things like "T'BIRD", "B--CH'N!!" and "JOHN'S WIFE" and those all worked.

So I'm not sure what the deal is.
