• [ ] I have searched the YOLOv5 issues and discussions and found no similar questions.

Question I encountered a problem that the labels have special symbols ' or , or _ so that there will be errors in training. Does anyone know how to deal with it?

@GuanLinHu 👋 hi, thanks for letting us know about this possible problem with YOLOv5 🚀. Commas, underscores and spaces work correctly in labels, i.e.:

We've created a few short guidelines below to help users provide what we need in order to get started investigating a possible problem.

How to create a Minimal, Reproducible Example

When asking a question, people will be better able to provide help if you provide code that they can easily understand and use to reproduce the problem. This is referred to by community members as creating a minimum reproducible example. Your code that reproduces the problem should be:

• ✅ Minimal – Use as little code as possible to produce the problem
• ✅ Complete – Provide all parts someone else needs to reproduce the problem
• ✅ Reproducible – Test the code you're about to provide to make sure it reproduces the problem

For Ultralytics to provide assistance your code should also be:

• ✅ Current – Verify that your code is up-to-date with GitHub master, and if necessary git pull or git clone a new copy to ensure your problem has not already been solved in master.
• ✅ Unmodified – Your problem must be reproducible using official YOLOv5 code without changes. Ultralytics does not provide support for custom code ⚠️.

If you believe your problem meets all the above criteria, please close this issue and raise a new one using the 🐛 Bug Report template with a minimum reproducible example to help us better understand and diagnose your problem.

Thank you! 😃

@GuanLinHu this has nothing to do with YOLOv5. Google is your friend: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9050355/using-quotation-marks-inside-quotation-marks
