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: ?
There is not "equivalent"... only e...
Or is that ? and alt 130 (?) different?
But this must be a problem that's happened a lot before? Not so?

tried to post it, I had the weird character in there...
