This solution worked... s := stringReplace(s,chr(148),'"',[rfReplaceAll, rfIgnoreCase]); s := stringReplace(s,chr(147),'"',[rfReplaceAll, rfIgnoreCase]); s := stringReplace(s,chr(150),'--',[rfReplaceAll, rfIgnoreCase]); s := stringReplace(s,chr(146),'''',[rfReplaceAll, rfIgnoreCase]);
However this car is also giving me issues: é There is not "equivalent"... only e... Or is that é and alt 130 (é) different? But this must be a problem that's happened a lot before? Not so?
