Trouble importing Stars hands from Notepad file

Postby StayingWarm » Fri Oct 10, 2008 10:18 pm

For a while I have been importing hands from my laptop by requesting hand histories from Stars, copying and pasting them into a Notepad .txt file and manually importing them from said file. This worked like a charm until a couple weeks ago. Now, every time I try to do this, I get the following error message:

2008/10/10 22:06:49: Import file: C:\Documents and Settings\Mark\Desktop\hands.txt
2008/10/10 22:06:49: Invalid hand history line: *********** # 162 **************PokerStars Game #xxxxxxxxxx: Hold'em No Limit ($0.50/$1.00) - 2008/10/09 23:02:06 <details of hand> (Line #1)
2008/10/10 22:06:49: + Complete (0 hands, 1 errors, 0 duplicates)
2008/10/10 22:06:49: Import complete. 0 hands in 1 file were imported. (1 errors, 0 duplicates)
2008/10/10 22:06:50:
2008/10/10 22:06:50: Housekeeping...
2008/10/10 22:08:29: Housekeeping complete.

I've tried not copying the *****#xx****** lines, importing only one han at a time (obv not sustainable), and anything else I could think of but can't seem to get it to work. Please help; I log 75% or so of hands on my laptop (and can't install pt there). I appreciate your help.

Try copying and pasting into wordpad and see if that works better? Sometimes notepad confuses tab characters from pasting but Wordpad should do it properly.

That did the trick (after changing from default saving as rtf to text only). Thanks!

Now I'm realizing that suspiciously all of my imported sessions have exactly 200 hands. I assume there's already a topic on this somewhere; can anyone point me there?

Thanks again!

The files probably have batches of 200 hands, but if the hands are from consecutive times then the sessions should be sorted out OK.
Are the hands in these 200 hand blocks consecutive in time? Are the separate sessions separate in time?
