Confirmed to be a problem with UTF8 encoded files. This had been addressed way earlier in issue #57 but that file used ANSEL encoding.
Fixed in 3.2.2-SNAPSHOT of 2016-09-29T08:04:22-04:00 Fixed in 4.0.0-SNAPSHOT of 2016-09-29T08:07:37-04:00
Released in v3.2.2
I just learned from a user that GEDCOM exports from GENi contain leading blanks (for readability) and that gedcom4j fails to import such lines.
From the GEDCOM 5.5 standard: Leading white space (tabs, spaces, and extra line terminators) preceding a GEDCOM line should be ignored by the reading system. Systems generating GEDCOM should not place any white space in front of the GEDCOM line.
I am attaching a simple GEDCOM export from GENi demonstrating the issue. geni-test.txt
I think GENi is a pretty huge player in the market so it would be nice if import was working.
