Over the past two weeks I have consistently received a "Parse error: Invalid token encountered" using a list-feed query to a spreadsheet in which the query text includes the "#" character. The text is enclosed in quotes, e.g., recordid="#identifier". This query had worked fine before and now encounters the error. In the exception, the query is reported as ending at the quote character before the # and then the remainder is reported as a fragment.
Aside from enclosing within quotes, the documentation does not provide any other guidance or restrictions regarding non-alphanumeric characters in query text. I am using .NET API v2. Other queries to the same spreadsheet in which there is no # character involved are working fine. Has query parsing changed on the Google server end? If so, how should characters like # be handled ro avoid the parsing error?
