Hi All,
I have a corrupted file and it's important, hoping I can recover -- my
backup works but it's a month old and it's missing some data, worst case
it'll do but I'd prefer getting the up to date one fixed. Error is:
Read-Error.
Format error discovered in the file in sub-document content.xml at
2,1197863(row,col).
When I try opening content.xml with firefox I get
XML Parsing Error: duplicate attribute
Location: file:///tmp/.fr-lMJsLA/content.xml
Line Number 2, Column 1197864:
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Not confidential information so I
can send it to someone to look at. Thanks in advance
I have currently not time enough to repair it for you, but here is,
what you need to do:
- Make a copy of the file and work on the copy.
- Unzip the file. Depending on your unpacker, you might need to change
the filename-extension from .odt to .zip. You will get a folder.
- Go inside the folder. You will see the file content.xml
- Open the file with an editor, that is able to handle UTF8 and Unix
line ends.
- Go to the place, which is given in the error message. You will see
two identical parts of the kind foo="bar". Remove one of them. Save
the file. Be sure to use UTF8 and Unix line ends.
- Mark all content of the folder and zip it. You will get a file, with
filename-extension .zip. Change the filename-extension to .odt.
If all went well, you can open the file now. If it is not a text file,
you have of cause to use the appropriate filename-extension.
Kind regards
Regina
Excellent, thanks for the advice to both of you. I used emacs and
discovered the error - my bigger concern now is that LibO did this to
begin with :-/
Best Regards and Thanks Again,
Joel
