Issue with easy populate dropping a leading character

[chrisbarbers]

OK, I have easy populate working great, does everything I want and I have uploaded over 7000 products, but we have noticed during a cleansing operation that some Titles have had the leading character dropped.

For example: Mayfield Ladder has been added as ayfield Ladder, as a percentage it is about 15% of the products uploaded, this doesn't happen to all Titles with an M for example it seems to be random.

Any ideas?

OK I have worked it out, very odd and an issue that others may benefit from knowing.

My example above wasn't accurate enough, the problem was actually Titles like Mayfield Ladder 4", became ayfield Ladder 4, easypopulate assumes that if there is a " at the end of the line, the first character must also be a " and strips it out.

Hope this helps someone else, oh and a bit of jiggery pokery in excel will allow you to add some extra " to fix it.

This should be fixed in the new updated Easy Populate
