Replace words in txt file

I am working in a script that open an txt file and replace any caracter that I choose for another one, so far everything is ok.
The problem is when the file that I am reading contains quote marks(") as at example attached(input.txt).
In this case, when the script faces one line that contains a simple quote mark in the middle is enough for the program launch an error message to the user (image attached).

Dealing with Folders

I've been trying to figure out a way to deal with user created folders. 
Its very common for users in my organization to work with a set of databases in IDEA and then create a folder to organize them within the current directory. They will create a folder and then move the databases over. The problem though is many of the scripts that I have been written can not find those databases moved into those folders. The scripts will pull all the databases in the current directory unless they are within a folder.

Joining Tables when key is between two values (upper and lower)

Hello, this is my first post on this forum as I am a recent IDEA user.
This question has been crackling my brain recently without any success.
I am trying to calculate the tax retention of multiple employees.
Tax Retention tables have an upper and a lower limit, and 2 features. For the two features I can simply do a join matches only but is there any way to do a key join between a range?
Tax retention table example on the right side.Employee Info on the left.
I want to extract the tax% value for each employee based on the features and its value.

Update Dialog based Drop Down Combo Box Selection

Is there a way to have the dialog update based on the user selecting from a Drop Down Combo Box?
Basically, I'm trying to have the user select a file from the drop down combo box and from this another combo box is populated with the fields from that selected file. 
Any help would be appreciated.
