Suppose we manually added some external URLs. If we then click the export button, we download a text file which reads something like:
1,1,OHxr4,,
2,,7MwF3,,
0,,Igaj0,http://www.azsos.gov/business_services/tnt/tnt_name_search_instructions.htm,Arizona
0,1,MDfuk,http://www.commerce.state.ak.us/CBP/Main/CBPLSearch.aspx?mode=Corp,Alaska
0,2,eKrYd,http://www.sos.state.al.us/vb/inquiry/inquiry.aspx?area=Business%20Entity,Alabama
However, suppose we want to add some external URLs for bulk upload purposes, say like this.
1,1,OHxr4,,
2,,7MwF3,,
0,,Igaj0,http://www.azsos.gov/business_services/tnt/tnt_name_search_instructions.htm,Arizona
0,1,MDfuk,http://www.commerce.state.ak.us/CBP/Main/CBPLSearch.aspx?mode=Corp,Alaska
0,2,eKrYd,http://www.sos.state.al.us/vb/inquiry/inquiry.aspx?area=Business%20Entity,Alabama
0,,Fk1o8,http://www.sos.arkansas.gov/corps/search_all.php,Arkansas
0,,aZoj2,http://kepler.sos.ca.gov/,California
If we attempt to upload this file, we simply receive a bunch of warnings saying line 282 is expecting two parameters and only received one and none of the external URLs are added. Furthermore, if we then download the updated list of URLs using the export button, it looks like this:
1,1,OHxr4,,
2,,7MwF3,,
0,0,,,
0,0,,,
[... bunch more 0,0,,, rows, one per external URL we imported]
0,,Igaj0,http://www.azsos.gov/business_services/tnt/tnt_name_search_instructions.htm,Arizona
0,1,MDfuk,http://www.commerce.state.ak.us/CBP/Main/CBPLSearch.aspx?mode=Corp,Alaska
0,2,eKrYd,http://www.sos.state.al.us/vb/inquiry/inquiry.aspx?area=Business%20Entity,Alabama
What we don’t know is if we’re somehow using the wrong file format for the import process or if there’s a glitch in the code, or if it’s something such as the file must be encoded in some specific format such as Unicode, UTF-8, etc. Thoughts?
