How do I convert it? What I've tried is: * Open the badly formatted file in the Lazarus IDE, then copied the "funny" chars into the following code: * s := stringReplace(s,'"','""',[rfReplaceAll, rfIgnoreCase]); * s := stringReplace(s,'"','""',[rfReplaceAll, rfIgnoreCase]); But that also doesn't work... Sigh...
