Can CatoBase be used with Lahman imported leagues?

Bradley · 09-06-2004, 11:42 AM

I have never used CatoBase before and downloaded the 6.1.4 version this morning.

I have a new league I created from the Lahman database. Finished the season fine and exported the html files as requested. When I run the CatoBase utility it stops on "importing players.csv" with an error that states there is an invalid character on line 448. I opened the file and can see nothing unusual with line 448 vs. any of the other lines in the file.

I am using the files and exporters downloaded from the CatoBase website today and have correctly identified the html files as OOTP v6 in the utility. It's not a path issue, it seems to find the files ok - just can't complete the processes.

Could this be a Lahman import issue? Should this utility only be used with non-imported leagues?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

There should be no problem with catobase and the database. I use a fictional database for my league and I am 20 seasons in and there have been no problems with the importing and running catobase.
