Weka CSVLoader wrong number of values. Read 2, expected 23

I am trying to convert a CSV to ARFF using Weka's CSVLoader from the GUI. In the options I set the enclosure character for strings to be ", although there are no quotes in my file. I get the following error:

weka.core.converters.CSVLoaderfailed to lead <my file>
Reason:
wrong number of values. Read 2, expected 23, read Token[EOL], line 1763

Here are lines 1762-1764:

450c787001b004af69428e267c7a4ca1,I_need need_to to_go go_back back_to to_my my_live live_food food_diet diet_PPP PPP_Not Not_90% 90%_like like_before before_CCC CCC_but but_I I_bet bet_I I_could could_do do_75% 75%_without without_losing losing_too too_much much_weight weight_PPP PPP_PPP,2.30,3.50,4.50,2.85,4.50,n,y,y,n,y,AM,297,41728.8,95.58,0.03,42826,0.49,0.17,-12.5611111111,0.248945147679,0.0595238095238

Any ideas? I can't seem to find the error.

EDIT---

Of course, right after I posted I found the "error" The CSVLoader does not like the % characters. So, I've changed my question: Does anyone know why this is or what other characters are not liked by it?

The error is caused by the apostrophe in line 1763.

these characters usually cause problems if being used as data

, = " ' *+ -%
