      Since the new Moodle version 4.4. the log file downloaded in CSV format, in any course, includes the characters ' instead of ' (apostrophe character) in the Description field.

      If you want to replicate the process, go to "Reports\Logs", click button "Get these logs" and then (at the end of the page), click Download (with "Comma separated values (.csv)" selected. Open the file, and check the Description column.

      Example (with Moodle 4.4): "The user with id '13' viewed the log report for the course with id '51'."

      In previous versions, you could see th t with any editor, using ' (apostrophe).

      Example (with previous versions): ""The user with id '13' viewed the log report for the course with id '51'."
