Motet,
Something is FUBAR with this process. I remember when F2012 came out and the Finalescript files switched from TXT to XML. At that time, IIRC, the F2012 release notes said that any old TXT script files that were placed in the F2012 Finalescript directory would automatically be converted to the new XML format. I did it many times with no problem. Since all my old scripts were converted, I did not need to worry about it with F2014 and F2014.5. I tested my recollection by going back to F2011 and getting some TXT script files. I placed them in the appropriate place in my online versions of Finale, F2014, F2014.5 and F25.2. I started F25.2, and sure enough, all the TXT files were converted to XML at startup, behind the scenes. However for F2014 and F2014.5, both programs crashed as you reported. No TXT files were converted. Obviously, something is different in the process for F25.2 (64bit) than for the 32 bit versions. As I said, for me, I never had to try to convert with F2014 or F2014.5, since F2012 converted all my TXT scripts to XML with no trouble. Since you don't use 64 bit Finale yet, if you can still get ahold of F2012, it should be able to convert TXT to XML. It may be a moot point for you now, since you went ahead and wrote your own conversion program using sed. I've never used it. I'll take a look at your work, just for my edification.

| Posted Today 11:19 AM (GMT -6) | | | Automatic conversion was there in F2012, a 32 bit program. and always worked for my purposes. I never needed it for F2014 and F2014.5, so the fact that it was broken with those 32 bit programs, never came to light for me. Since with F25.2, a 64 bit program, it is back to working again, I can only assume it was working for F25, and F25.1. I never tried it.
Something apparently went haywire for F2014 and F2014.5.

| Posted Today 6:23 PM (GMT -6) | | I had no problem with placing a F2011 folder in the F25.2 directory hierarchy. All the TXT files in the folder were converted to XML, about 10 or so, upon F25.2 startup. As you say, bitness probably has nothing to do with the issue, but something has broken F2014 and F2014.5.
