I receive an HTML page from the county, and I save it as
a .prn (csv text) file to preserve columnar allignment.
Recently however, they have changed their HTML editor,
and now I get misinterpreted ampersands in the file.
Consequently, when the "&" is present, the HTML editor
creates "&" from it, and kills the columnar
allignment in the .txt document for the row containing
the ampersand.
Are you with me so far?
