Hi all,

Due to a power loss, my computer restarted correctly.
After that, I cannot open my .sdl file. I always get an XML error :

Error opening SDL: Caractère XML non valide : �.
java.io.IOException: Error opening SDL: Caractère XML non valide : �.

I tried to upgrade from 0.41 to 0.41d version and nothing changed.

I succeeded in creating a new document list and a new document in it.

Can someone help me before I recreate my document list and all my documents ?

Thanks

You might want to open your SDL in Notepad (or any other text editor) and remove the � entity to see if that helps. You could also check if there is a ".bak" file in the same directory.

Thanks for your quick reply.

I tried to look for � entity in the sdl file : it is not present, even the 3 first letters...
And there is no .bak file in the same directory.

Any more idea ?

If no, I'll rebuild my .sdl and make a copy regularly.

Thanks

The error you're getting is due to a 0 byte somewhere in the file. This won't show up in a text editor. (You need a hex editor to edit this.)

If all else fails, you could e-mail me your SDL file, so I can try to salvage some of the data.

Very kind to you.

I send you my sdl file to your mail.

Don't spend too much time in it, I found an old sdl file in which i only miss 5 documents so it will not take me a long time to rebuild.

Here it is.

Fixed version is attached. The last byte of the file was a 0.

Thanks a lot, it works fine.

Now, I'll have a backup copy and a new one each time I change or add a document.

Thanks again.
