Cannot import GEDCOM from GENi due to leading blanks #166

Closed haralduna closed 7 years ago

haralduna commented 7 years ago

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.

Confirmed to be a problem with UTF8 encoded files. This had been addressed way earlier in issue #57 but that file used ANSEL encoding.
