A dash might be ok. Not sure. The text file the game produces separates stuff with quotes which cause the apostrophe issue. What's the horses name, as will need to change it back to the dash as there will be some issues when programs run to place horse in races and display form etc

File name changed for upload to:
Ring em all Beach

Name was generated by the game but let me know if there are any issues and I will replace it.

We won't know there are issues until after the processing of the text file that has the race results in it, and also the program that runs the race sorter to sort horse files into races. Can't see a dash been an issue, but won't know for sure until some of the programs run.

The regular expression I used prevents all names that have anything other than letters in them. But might have to change this as a dash shoul be ok

Can't do anything about the apostrophe though as that causes an issue in the results text file generated by the game. Apostrophes definitely cause an issue.
