Pasi --<br><br>I suggest we attempt to resolve the problem with the importer, and then reimport. Some other members on the list will be able to speak to your question better that I can, however. The data is represented in several places in the database, so it is not trivial to accomplish a mass-replace. And presumably you would want to import new data at some later point, regardless.<br>

I've been trying to import some records to Koha 2.2.9 system (both with Koha's<br>
internal breeding.pl tool and bulkmarcimport.pl), but I can't seem to get all<br>
the UTF-8 characters to work right. While breeding.pl seems to break nearly all<br>
the special characters, bulkmarcimport.pl does a much better job. There are<br>
however some problematic characters with bulkmarcimport.pl also. For example a<br>
with umlauts (ä) works, but followed by n (än) it becomes a mess, very strange...<br>
<br>
I've been thinking about doing a database-wide search-replace to fix the broken<br>
characters, but how should I proceed with that? Is it a very good idea in the<br>
first place or is there a better way to fix the characters?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
