Sounds like a good case for using UTF8, prime and double-prime, either
originally when typing, or in substitution while processing. That would
also be typographically correct.

Hi Geoff,
The current game plane is to
1) learn how to import a CSV into GnuCash
2) take my data that I was going to place in the clipboard
and instead write it to a standard CSV file and location
the GnuCash can easily and consistently see
Since I will be the one handling the dat, I should be able to
handle the pitfalls of CSV.
One of my customers had me write a filter between two
program the used a CSV to transfer data between the two
of them. Things go a little interesting when the
importing program thought the quote mark they were
using for inches was the field terminator. It was
a bug in the receiving program as the field terminator
is a quote and then a comma. The end of line is a quote
and a return. My solution was to find where they were
using a quote sign for inches and replace it with "in".
I do use single quotes to denote cable feet and I may
have a few double quotes in my part descriptions that
I have to deal with. It all depends on how well done
GnuCash's import function is written. I will find out.
