[sword-devel] IMP format and imp2vs.exe

[David Haslam]

According to our wiki page on file format, IMP format is

"Each entry consists of a key line and any number of content lines."

Yesterday, I observed what might be a buggy behaviour while using imp2vs.exe
to build a module.

The IMP file I have currently has Unix style EOLs (LF) rather than Windows
style (CRLF).

The module thus built joined the last word of content line N to the first
word of line N+1 (under the same key).  

It ought to have inserted a space!

Even stranger - adding a space at the end of each content line did not fix
the issue.

I'm now wondering if the Win32 version of this utility expects all source
text files to have Windows style EOLs. 

My next step in testing will be to see if I can get the correct result after
I convert the EOLs in the source text file.

The thing is this. I have recollections of successful builds in the past
with multiline content for each key.  i.e. Even from a "word per line" kind
of format for each verse.

I was using imp2vs.exe that comes bundled with Xiphos.
=== imp2vs (Revision $Rev: 2234 $) SWORD Bible/Commentary importer.
(That's the same version as I last downloaded from Greg's Win32 compile of
sword utilities.)

Watch this space. (Pun not really intended?)


Best regards,

David
