Hi all,

I have 2 inherited files that have their origin in the computational Middle Ages (Fortran, punch cards -- really!) and look like this:

These files get written to (lousy serialized XML) at run time and trying to align these XMLs was ... not funny.

One file is 75,000 lines, the other 50,000 lines.

So my question would be: can Passolo deal with a format that basically says "treat everything starting at character position 25 to line end as text"?

Any help that would save me from making an XML Diff of these files in order to align the existing translations would be VERY MUCH aprreciated.

Greetings,

Franz-Josef
