"words" within quotations, smart quotes v double quotes

[Mark Swindell]

Thanks for the responses.  What I'm trying to accomplish is to strip  
the quotes out of random text imported to a field, act on the  
remaining text word by word, char by char, and then replace the  
quotes when I'm done.  The problem arises in that when double quotes  
are present in the text everything within them is reduced to a single  
"word" for Rev.  "What are you doing?" becomes a single word with 19  
chars rather than four words of different lengths.

At any rate, I used a different strategy and changed out the quotes  
for something obscure, and it works fine.  But what is the ascii for  
smart quotes?

Thanks,
Mark
