    Hi again Matt,

    I’m trying to use the Simple Links CSV Import/Export tool again and this time it imports only 1 record. Strangely this one record is the 21st in a list of 30 in the CSV file. It imports only that single record, and the record is imported correctly. What gives here?

    Hello again,

    Could you send me a link to the import file so I can take a look.

    Thanks

    this is the file that only loads one link (Winter 2006), no matter how the file is ordered:

    BTW – what’s with your website? All I get is a blank page when I go to the URL.

    It took a bit but I was able to track this down to strange special characters at the end of the titles in the import file. Possibly from a copy paste or a program.

    I have added more advanced title sanitization to the import process which makes your file work like normal.

    I have released version 1.2.5 which should be available momentarily.

    Thanks for logging the bug!

    Thanks for looking into this Mat. I used Excel formulas and scripts to extract the text and hyperlinks from a copy/paste off another webpage. It is pretty weird that one listing came through, especially since it wasn’t the first or last listing. I’m sure that one didn’t get any special treatment in the extract, but it looks like it may have helped fix an unusual trouble spot.

    Glad to see your website is up again. Nice new look.
