Error not well formed

Post by lindstrand » Wed Apr 15, 2009 12:48 pm

Hello!

I saved a project in 1.3.2 beta. When I tried to open it i got Error on line 5 "not well formed". This was realy a disaster since the files where from the municiallity meeting in our town and I should publish then in mp3 fromat on the web as fast as posible. I checked the .aup file in an editor and saw that there was a "å" and a "ä" in the file names (but not on line 5). I changed the letters to "a" and the project worked :o) So if you have the same problem check for swedish letters and change them.

Sample cod:
<tags title="08" artist="Kommunfullmäktige i Kristianstad" album="April 2009" track="10" year="2009" genre="28" comments="" id3v2="1"/>
<labeltrack name="Etikettspår" numlabels="20">
Changed to:

<labeltrack name="Etikettspar" numlabels="20">

Error characters, not just Swedish ones. And it was on line 5. The AUP file doesn't pay any attention to line length, so if you display the code on a narrow monitor, the longer lines will fold over and look like new lines. They're not.

Here's a simple screen capture to illustrate.

Line 2 would almost certainly have folded over to look like line 3 and maybe line 4 to you.

The current Audacity Beta version is 1.3.7. We do not support obsolete versions. Please upgrade:
http://audacityteam.org/download/beta_windows#recdown

Unless you are actually on Windows 98 or ME, use the version for Windows 2000 or later which is Unicode so can handle extended ASCII and Unicode characters.

If you are not already doing so, you can subscribe to receive occasional e-mails from us when we release new versions of Audacity. To subscribe, go to the bottom of our home page:
