getting: "& a p o s ;" in TMXs generated with TMX_maker_3.0.exe Feb 26, 2015

OK, so now that I solved that problem, I have another one. TMX_maker_3.0.exe works great, except for one little thing, I am getting stuff like this in the created TMXSs:

supervisory computer tomograms of said patient& a p o s ;s cerebrum
HIV-infected people frequently suffer from Plaut& a p o s ;s
etc.

(added spaces so it would render here)

Weird, I can see "& a p o s ;" in EmEditor, I can see "& a p o s ;" in the Heartsome TMX ed... See more

Weird, I can see "& a p o s ;" in EmEditor, I can see "& a p o s ;" in the Heartsome TMX editor, but if I open the same TMX in Olifant, they are just normal apostrophes again: '

Hmm, problem "solved". Just realised the free Heartsome TMX Editor can create TMXs out of tabbed files (with no HTML characters). really hoping someone takes on/over that project!

Weird. It doesn't work if I run it from:

C:\Users\michaelbeijer\Desktop\PatTR Patent Translation Resource\de-en\pattr\description\1 - Copy (1)

But it does work if I run it from:

C:\Users\michaelbeijer\Desktop\

Is it the spaces or brackets in the path maybe?


Could be. It's not a project a put a lot of work into. Frankly, I didn't even remember I published that little program. There could well be a silly bug in there that fails on spaces in the path.

Re: the other problem, please check the original txt files and the tabbed file in a text editor as well as the tmx. I'd like to know where the broken character entities come from.
If the original contained & a p o s ;, then the tmx maker should change that to &amp; a p o s ; (i.e. it shouldn't collapse all those spaces). Obviously it shouldn't insert spaces either.
