[opencms-dev] Problem with databaseexport/import

[Pere Torrodellas]

Hello,

I had the same problem, and I hope I'll save you the long time it took me to debug.

In the export zip manifest file, there were control characters (i.e. Hex 19)  in some Title and Description properties 
tags, in places where there should have been a typographical apostrophe (Hex 92). Look for control chars (i.e. < Hex 20) 
in your manifest.

In my case, these were probably introduced by copy/paste from PDF documents, but I still don't understand why OpenCms 
made control characters out of them.

Pere
