import/export of the xml file

[devon]

Hello!

Dear Kinook

I know I have successfully done this before,
however, I cannot remember the modification I had to do to an exported OML file in order to import it!

That is, according to the help file ...

"One advantage to exporting Ultra Recall data to XML is that all information stored in an Ultra Recall database can be exported. In addition, the exported OML can be re-imported into Ultra Recall (via the Import Wizard) which allows it to be used as a backup of Ultra Recall data in a non-proprietary format."


Therefore, I exported my URD file using the
"Items to an XML (OML) file" OPTION

It successfully produced the OML file and the Icons/Notes/StoredContent folders.

However, when I attempted to RE-IMPORT the very same OML file "AS IS" using the XML (OML/.OPML) option ... I get the following error ...

"Error parsing document 'FILENAME.OML': not well-formed (invalid token)"


Like I said, this is the very same file (untouched) as produced by UR.
Am I suppose to modify it in some way in order for the IMPORT to work?

I think I accounted this problem before, and I had to delete something in the OML in order to get it to work ... but I can't remember.

Please help
Thanks

Devon

Oh BTW
I am using 2.0e PRO

Try exporting with Item Text unchecked. I am seeing some invalid characters in the exported XML for this attribute on some documents. This attribute will not be needed/used on re-import anyway, since it will be parsed from the document content instead.

Thanks I tried that ... yes, it got rid of the funny chars

However, when I try to re-import the selfsame file I keep getting the following error: "Error importing files: Url not found: Unknown error"

even with "Automatically skip unreachable URLs" checked

Consequently Nothing gets imported at all!!

Any suggestions?

Please ZIP and send or post:
1) The info from Help | About | Install Info
2) A .urd file with the item(s) that don't export/import properly (you can copy the problem items to a new database).

Thanks.
