Fix ValueError when parsing TXT records with escaped semicolons (\;)#62
Conversation
The remove_comments function was treating \; as a comment boundary, stripping the semicolon and leaving a trailing backslash. This caused shlex.split to raise ValueError: No escaped character. Now escaped semicolons are skipped so they are preserved as part of the record value, which shlex correctly converts to a literal semicolon. Fixes #49 https://claude.ai/code/session_012JHkX4dZkEHyQ6nNtD1a1B
