Hi,
        I'm having problems with a text file I'm working on. I need to get
the descriptions in from the text file and into a 
string for use in an SQL statement however some of the descriptions use a
single quote mark in the description. 
This of course stops the sql statement from working.

How can I get around this? I don't want to remove the quote. 

Example is as follows

8852001100010,8852001100010,BRAND'S Essence of Chicken 42 cc.,0,TRUE

$article = '8852001100010'
$barcode = '8852001100010'
$description = 'BRAND'S Essence of Chicken 42 cc.'


$strSQL = "INSERT INTO Product_Lookup_Table
(PL_Barcode,PL_Article,PL_Description) VALUES (";
 $strSQL = $strSQL . "'" . $barcode . "','" . $article . "','" .
$description . ")";

I think this is relativly straight forward but I'm a newbie at Perl. - I
wish I'd learnt it a few years ago now :)

Regards

Andrew Hubbard
