Need Power Query to ignore all quotes

I have a regular export from SAP that is in .txt format that I need to pull into Power BI.  A new file gets emailed everyday, and a Power Automate flow converts it from HTML to .txt, and puts it in a sharepoint with all the previous files.  The conversion is working perfectly, I have ruled that out as the issue, but there is a problem where one entry is getting combined with several others.  Basically, Power Query ignores the pipe delimiters on the same entry everyday.  Here is a screenshot of the cell that I am talking about:

All of that is in the same cell, despite the delimiters.  I have discovered that there is a single quotation mark at the beginning of this in the file:

I am wondering how I can get Power Query to ignore quotes entirely, and split based on pipes all the time.

Hi @crobson29 ,
Replace single quotation mark with blank and then apply delimiter.
