Hello again, DVX, windows XP/vista, etc etc.
The problem is an html document which, when imported, has a code either missing or incomplete. Multiple attempts to import the project give the following results:
either: the code fails to show up at all (as can be seen from the code numbering sequence which passes from n to n+2). Attempting to export leads to the "bad codes in this cell" message but copying all the visible codes across does not solve the issue or enable the ...

or: the code comes up missing one of its brackets. In this case the file is exported up to that point, crashing DVX in the process.
Has anyone encountered this and/or found a workaround? Thanks! ▲ Collapse

MODERATOR | Have you tried adding the missing bracket? | Sep 14, 2009 |
If you can manage to get the file imported again with that bracket missing, how about adding the missing bracket and exporting again?

TOPIC STARTER | Brackets and a workaround | Sep 14, 2009 |
Hi Yolanda
The thing is, adding the missing bracket actually makes the problem worse, because a whole code is still missing in this case, as a result of which the project refuses to export. Without that bracket at least one can get everything out up to that point.
In the mean time I have come across an obvious workaround which is simply to ask DVX not to send that cell - especially as there is no visible impact on the html file! I just hope this doesn't happen too ofte... See more Hi Yolanda

| Export problem solved but | Sep 14, 2009 |
I have checked the file, and by chance solved the problem but couldn't find the reason.
I have copied all source segments to the target, but in one of them there was a wrong code problem.
Source Segment:
{90}A2{91}Retour{92}
The next code, in the following segment was {94}, so I have manually typed code {93} to the target segment (only to the target segment, not to the source segment)
So the target segment became
{90}... See more I have checked the file, and by chance solved the problem but couldn't find the reason.

Thanks Selcuk!
I'll report back if any further explanations are forthcoming.

| I wonder what 93 pulls in.. | Sep 14, 2009 |
Hi Seluk,
I'm glad the problem is solved, but I'm plain curious. Could you highlight the 93 and hit Shift+F6 (display code)?

TOPIC STARTER | workaround is still hit and miss | Sep 15, 2009 |
After some corrections to my translation, I just tried exporting the document again today using Selcuk's method of manually typing in the missing code... and, where this procedure succeeded yesterday, got the "there's something wrong with your codes" box. Marking the cell "do not send" did not initially help either. Eventually deleting the added code and keeping the "do not send" option worked.
What makes this really weird is that the same result is not returned each time.

| Do not send command | Sep 15, 2009 |
This command is not related to exporting documents. When a segment is marked with "Do not send", it is not sent to the Translation Memory.

1 If you would like to single out certain rows (for instance, rows that contain code information) that you do not want to be sent to your translation memory, you can right-click the sentence or the selection of sentences you do not want in the translation memory and click Do Not Send.
–Or–
Press Ctrl+Shift+D.
As regards the export problem, can you send me the project file, I will check the codes again.

| Could it be.. | Sep 15, 2009 |
Hi Seluk,
Thank you for posting up the code - the 93 code (valid html comment) seems harmless, and I'm suspicious with three larger than operators three lines below. Though they are permitted, some browsers/parsers cannot handle operators within the comment very well. This may be the case with DejaVu. Hope this may shed a light on solving this mystery.

TOPIC STARTER | Problem has disappeared (for now) | Sep 16, 2009 |
After a day away from my keyboard I've tried to repeat this phenomenon and failed. Atril's solution was to create a new project and reimport, which I did, and everything works. I also tried exporting from the original project, and that works too. However, the same code '93' fails to appear in the project either way.
I was not the creator of the original DVX project, which I received as a Pack 'n Go, and I don't think I'm in a position to freely pass the project around.

However, what I can do is suggest anyone who wishes to experiment with this type of problem saves the html from the following publicly available page and imports it into a project. I think you'll see the same code issue appear.
