Re: Strip Quotations from files

Why not escape the quotes (by doubling them, IIRC) instead?

Update: Good catch, grinder, but this script may be preparing files for a program somewhat less clever than DBI. If quotes are the only problem (which admittedly seems unlikely), why introduce dependencies?

Why not let DBI deal with the quoting issues (via the `quote()` method) instead? print@_{sort keys %_},$/if%_=split//,'= & *a?b:e\f/h^h!j+n,o@o;r$s-t%t#u'	[reply]

The script was written in the event that other special characters may need to be removed eg. &*^#@! All we have to do then is update the script.	[reply]
