BUG (?) with import-mt and multiple dashes

[jenn99]

I had many posts which had dashes to seperate content like this:
————————-
This caused many of the posts to lose half their content – or have some posts lose the correct author of the post… basically things got messed up.
I’m guessing the script just looks for a series of dashes and assumes the next line is the start of a new post if it’s over a certain number…
Ideally – it would be good to have it be “smart enough” to check the next line before assuming that… Probably easier said than done.
If this was posted on here already – I apologize. Finding things on this forum is quite difficult… 🙁

Jenn99, that is the way the MT export file is made.
A nifty workaround would be to find the lines in import-mt.php that look for “——–” and to make them look for “\n——–\n” and so too with “—-“.
I will get to this as soon as I can.
