datamachine: unknown command '\'' while importing

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi

I am using version 0.9.1 datamachine to create a local wikipedia database. I 
have generated all the .txt files and tried to import each file at a time. I 
got the following error:

============================================
PAGER set to stdout
PAGER set to stdout
PAGER set to stdout
PAGER set to stdout
PAGER set to stdout
ERROR at line 1: Unknown command '\''.
============================================

...when importing the Page.txt file. Has anyone else got the similar problem? 
it seems to be complaining about the '\' character inside the page content.

thanks in advance

UPDATE: problem solved. 

the reason was that I used "mysql [dbname] < [Page.txt]"

instead of mysqlimport. It worked with previous versions of datamachine before. 
maybe this version changed data format.

Thanks for clarifying this.
Datamachine always produced datafiles - not SQL. So this actually should not 
have worked before...

 "mysql [dbname] < [sqldump]"
works only with sql-dumps.
You could, however, also write import an SQL file containing LOAD DATA INFILE 
commands to import the txt-files - that's basically the same as using 
mysqlimport.
