Thanks for the support. As I was working my way through the code I posted I noticed that if you embedded in the quote is a check to see if the character we're on *and* the next character are both double quotes.
But if that's true, than the initial check for a double quote to even get *into* that section is redundant. You can't have two double quotes in a row if you don't start with a double quote to begin. Of course the opposite case is true, you could start with a double quote and no have two double quotes in a row. Perhaps tomorrow I will post the code with which I ended up. Written as a subroutine, then maybe someone can break it.
