Special Characters

[Sick Monkey]

Sorry guys.  It has been a long day today.  There is no issues when dealing
with "#" in variables.  I found out that when I was reading the file, there
were additional blank spaces being appended to the value.

To correct the issue, I just had to dp
    varName = msInfo[0].strip()
    finName = varName.strip()
