Cannot paste a FEN string into SCID vs PC?

When I try to paste a FEN into Scid vs PC it says invalid FEN string. But the same strings are perfectly accepted by CB.

What is the SCID vs PC problem?

Is it a known bug?

Are there any workarounds to this issue?

Here's the FEN positons in question:

[FEN “8/5pk1/8/4p3/pp2Pn2/5P2/PP2B3/2Q3K1 b – – 0 38″]

[FEN “8/5pk1/8/4p3/pp1qPn2/5P2/PP2B3/2Q2K2 b – – 0 37″]

Thank you very much!

When I copy and paste those FENs into a text editor, I see strange characters where the quotes are, and where the dashes are.  Scid is probably seeing the same thing and has a problem with those characters.

When I edit that string, and replace these strange characters with "normal" characters, pasting the FEN into Scid vs. PC works fine for me.

Are you copy/pasting just between [FEN " and "]?

Typical applications only expect the FEN string and not any prefix or suffix like [FEN " and "]

Thank you. What text editor do you use? My Windows' notepad and Notepad++ show almost all characters as normal, except the only one quotation mark at the end, which in Windows' Notepad is represented by some "starange character" and in Notepad++ has a different thickness. But the dashes look totally like dashes (en-dashes to be exact). And I guess the later was the cause of the problem (that is, the dashes), because after replacing them with hyphens the string was accepted by Scid.

Thank you very much for the reply. Yes, I was pasting "just between". The problem, as it turned out, was in characters. There were en-dashes instead of hyphens (they look pretty much identical to the eye). The thing that really confused me is that CB accepted those strings without any problem. So, I started to think that there was something wrong with Scid.
