R. Mansfield Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I'm trying to import a text to create a user Bible, and every time it begins to import, I get an error message saying, "The text cannot be imported, because there is an extra blank line after the reference 'Matthew 1:1.'" I promise that there's no blank line after Matt 1:1! I've gone through the text and it's very clean. I have it saved as a Western Mac Roman text file. Any suggestions?

Helen Brown Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I would look at the text with a program that shows invisible characters. Maybe there are extra line feeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Mansfield Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hey friend, You wanna attach your file so we can test? Jeremy Well, I just tried to attach the file. I got a message saying "Upload failed. You are not permitted to upload this type file." It's just a text file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen Brown Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 The problem is that the text has both a line feed and a carriage return at the end of each line. Accordance converts the line feed to a carriage return so that makes it look like double-spacing (this is done to allow for files with line feeds instead of returns). We will fix this for the next rev. In the meantime, if you can find a way to remove the line feeds, you will be able to import the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Mansfield Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 What's an application that will allow me to remove the line feeds? I can't see them in the regular OS X text editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarcher Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 TextWrangler is an option. http://www.barebones.com/products/textwran.../download.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Bennett Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 TextWrangler is an option. http://www.barebones.com/products/textwran.../download.shtml Yes, Text Wrangler should do it for you. BBedit, the version above it has a nice drop down that will do this. Although not in Text Wrangler you can accomplish the same thing in the 'Save As...' menu, then click 'options.' I believe you want it to look like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
