wordpress2blogger gives me "not valid XML" error

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Get the tarball of r-79
2. cd bin
3. ./wordpress2blogger wordpress.2009-12-20.xml

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'm expecting an XML of the converted blog to the standard output, but
instead I get this error Input WordPress document is not valid XML!!

Error appears around line 725, column 25

<wp:comment_author_url>http://CVirus.Foolab.org</wp:comment_
------------------------^

I attached the xml file.

i am having the same problems as everyone else and it's driving me nuts. I'm 
trying to convert my XML on http://wordpress2blogger.appspot.com for Blogger 
and the XML has errors. I've tried downloading different softwares to help, but 
nothing is working. Can you please have a look through and repair it for me?! 
THANK YOU! x

Here is a converted wordpress file for lego-x.wordperss.

This error was from a bug in the program.  I'll update it with this fix.

And here is the cleaned and converted versions of the 
memoirsofawardrobe.wordpress.

There was one section in the Wordpress XML file that had the nested CDATA 
problem that others have been having.  I removed the offending script element 
in the cleaned version of the file.

I've fixed this particular bug, submitted it to the project, and updated the

Please try to convert your wordpress file using:

I'm also getting error in converting my wordpress to blogger. When I use the 
site, http://wordpress2blogger.appspot.com/ for conversion, it gives the error 
"Error encountered during conversion.Input WordPress document is not valid 
XML!!Error appears around line 14609, column 62".

And when i just go to my blogger and direct import the xml file, it gives the 
error "Sorry, the import failed due to a server error. The error code is 
bX-izedxv". 

I have attached my wordpress xml file. Could you plz help me to solve that 
error?
