I'm having a strange problem moving some memo files from my Palm Zire to a new Android phone. Since 2 of the 3 platforms I'm using are Linux (my PC and my phone), I think this is on-topic - so long as we don't get into an arguement about whether Android is really Linux or not ;-).
1 - I used jpilot to export Palm memo files to text files 2 - the files look fine in a Linux text editor (Kwrite, Kate, etc) 3 - I used Dropbox to move the files to my phone 4 - When I open the files on the phone (with various editors), there are strange line breaks (seem to be random - between words, in the middle of a word or even after each letter) - like this: This is a tes t to show an exa m p l e 5 - I tried opening the files in Open Office (in Linux) and saving as .odt and again copied to the phone with dropbox 6 - The Android Open Office reader app now reads the files properly. Any ideas why the original text files show this behaviour? BTW - when I opened the files in Open Office (in Linux), I checked to see if there were un-printable characters, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. I even looked at the files in hexedit to see if there were any unusual characters, but found nothing unusual. -- Shlomo Solomon http://the-solomons.net Sent by KMail 1.13.3 (KDE 4.4.3) on LINUX Mandriva 2010.1 _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
