occurs when string contains the close character e,g. "subject":"blah { blah"



because it looks for the close character for every occurrence of the open character. it needs to ignore the open character if it is contained within quotes.



Possible solution is to change the function: findCloseTag()



Add the line

quotChar = Chr(34)



Add to the Select Case statement

Case quotChar

quotCharCount = quotCharCount + 1<br/>

Change the Case pOpenTag to only increase the openTagCount if it is not within quotes i.e. the occcurence of the quote character is even.



If quotCharCount Mod 2 = 0 Then

openTagCount = openTagCount + 1<br/>

End If



likewise the Case pCloseTag

If quotCharCount Mod 2 = 0 Then

.....<br/>

End If
