Jim,
Thanks for this - I didn't reply immediately because this didn't work, I
think because the ESCAPEQUOTE and CHARNOQUOTE needed to be in the same
rule for some reason, so I resorted to a regular expression.
The good news is that I used this fragment technique for another
challenge in the same grammar, and it worked beautifully, so thank you!
Regards,
Tim.
