Hi Stefan,
I have it working using your suggestions (I took out my hacks). I
adjusted the match regex to match the quotes in the value portion.
Otherwise, I kept getting more quotes added in each time the file was
processed.
The only glitch now is that it always thinks there's a comment, so
even if there isn't a comment after the value, it adds a "#" at the
end of line.
