Failed with "PARSE_ERROR: Un-terminated delimited string in input/source" #44

Might be a useful test case, given it's complexity, real-world-ness, and open source-ness:

I used the online altium2kicad service, which succeeded, but opening the resulting kicad_pcb file resulted in the error:

PARSE_ERROR: Un-terminated delimited string in input/source

Turns out they were all to do with lines that contained net names like "\M\C\L\R\". I simply removed the last backslash from each of them and the pcb opened fine.

Full conversion log attached. All the "Seems we should skip 0x1e0 bytes" lines might be interesting too. altium2kicad-conversionlog.txt

Thanks a lot, I have fixed the backslash output problems now. I will also take a deeper look at the conversion.
