Ignore quotes when syncing
- Denise McGettigan
When you are adding a file or directory data item to Sync, the Ignore Quotes option is available to handle files containing embedded quotes in the data, such as a representation of inches. For example, a 12" ruler.
When the Ignore Quotes checkbox is NOT selected, quotes in data are interpreted as the opening quotes of a single string. This can cause a single cell to be populated with rows of data, until the next set of quotes is found. The difference is shown in the tables below.
Source data - ID | Source data - product | Output when the Ignore Quotes option is NOT selected |
|---|---|---|
1 | 3.5” wrench | 3.5” wrench Hammer Bolts 2.5” |
2 | Hammer | screws |
3 | Bolts |
|
4 | 2.5” screws |
|
If you select the Ignore Quotes checkbox, any embedded quotes are treated as normal characters, and the data is written out correctly.
