You could write a simple program that does that for you, but unless you have a lot of files you need to remove the quotation marks from (would be time consuming this way), I'd just use the Replace functionality in Notepad, Wordpad, and just about any other word processing program. Just open the .txt file, go Edit->Replace, and tell it to replace all quotation marks with a space, or nothing...it'll simply remove the quotation marks. My note here is that formatting can vary, so you'll want to copy opening quotations marks and paste it into the replace field, then repeat with closing quotation marks.
Hope this helps,

Hello-
We have purchase orders exported to a .txt file that we ftp to our vendors but certain items contain quotation marks that I need to remove from that file. I currently do it manually by opening it with notepad and replace the quotation mark with nothing, then save and ftp.
Does anyone know a way of doing this automatically? I'm thinking there has to be a simple command file I can run prior to ftp'ing the file to remove the quotation marks contained in the file, but don't know how to write it.
Thank you in advance-
Adam
