I'm having a strange problem moving some memo files from my Palm Zire to a new<br>
Android phone. Since 2 of the 3 platforms I'm using are Linux (my PC and my<br>
phone), I think this is on-topic - so long as we don't get into an arguement<br>
about whether Android is really Linux or not ;-).<br>
<br>
1 - I used jpilot to export Palm memo files to text files<br>
2 - the files look fine in a Linux text editor (Kwrite, Kate, etc)<br>
3 - I used Dropbox to move the files to my phone<br>
4 - When I open the files on the phone (with various editors), there are<br>
strange line breaks (seem to be random - between words, in the middle of a<br>
word or even after each letter) - like this:<br>
This is a tes<br>
t to show<br>
an exa<br>
m<br>
p<br>
l<br>
e<br>
5 - I tried opening the files in Open Office (in Linux) and saving as .odt and<br>
again copied to the phone with dropbox<br>
6 - The Android Open Office reader app now reads the files properly.<br>
<br>
Any ideas why the original text files show this behaviour?<br>
<br>
BTW - when I opened the files in Open Office (in Linux), I checked to see if<br>
there were un-printable characters, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. I<br>
even looked at the files in hexedit to see if there were any unusual<br>
characters, but found nothing unusual.<br>
