[GNC] clip board paste across catagories

[Peter West]

Or to put it another way, the list of components is:
Inches		<Unquoted string
Feet		<Unquoted string
3”
0.25 ‘		<This one looks wrong, as Adrien says. There’s a space and then a single left, not right, quote.
6”, strap	<Quoted string, enclosed in ""
0.5’, strap	<Quoted string, enclosed in ""

The 0.25 entry may have been messed up if you copy/pasted.

(which should at the least be consistent, also notice the errant spacing after the 0.25) The vertical positioning and curvature of the glyph is determining if it is a 'right' or 'left' quote. One can also see that the glyphs to the *left* of the '6' and the '0' feet/inch measurements and the *right* of the 'p' in "strap" are 'double quotation marks' and thus serve as delimiters of a *quoted text field*.
