[DFTB-Plus-User] Switch from brackets to quotations

Not sure which script you mean, but for sure, the DFTB+ input needs
correctly paired curly braces. I find it rather strange, if a script
requires you to convert them to apostrophe. What is the purpose of your
script? Maybe the task can be also done in other ways using less strange
scripts...

Best regards,

 Bálint
