Could you give a little more detail? What version of Moodle are you using? What import routine are you using? Where did you get the import file? Do you have a copy of it that you can upload here for someone to look at?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt
Not very experienced in Moodle!
I've copied the link address from the hyper link
xampp/moodle/question/import.php?category=4
The version we're using is 1.6.1
Attached is a single question file
Thanks for your help

the appropriate format would be:
What is a primary source?{
~tomato ketchup
=an original piece of evidence
~a cheeky yound child
~a horse less than one year old}
upload the format i have typed in red as a text file ( and upload in gift format and it'll work like charm.
i am attaching a file for your convenience too. this willl tell u the right formats...it's a moodle doc only....not my creation. though your format should also work coz i have seen it work in some other quiz models though not in moodle , but the one above works flawlessly. don't forget the closing '}' mark.

Keep in mind I'm a new to this Moodle Quiz Module -
I've read the documentation suggested in these postings.
I can finally get words to import - along with many unwanted characters - and all my questions come in as one question. What am I doing wrong?
figured out how to replace the apostrophe with the code provided
what about semi-colons?
Don't know what version of Moodle our CESA is running but they only started this summer.
I'm a mac user
should I be using text edit? then I only have 4 choices to save as: RTF, HTML, XML
Can't I just use word or excel? The questions are already typed in those formats.

Hit 'enter' at the end of every question so as to leave a clear line between each question while preparing them in text format otherwise they will all get imported as one question.

Well, use the simplest text editor that you can and save as .txt
I THINK using Word should also be ok.....as long as you 'save as' text.
But best is plain text editor, such as "vi," "pico," or "Notepad."

Thanks for the tip - I'll double check that it is saved as .txt. I do have a clear line in between each question (2 returns)
What version of Moodle are you using? There's an old discussion about this at http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=3145 regarding an older version of Moodle. Current versions should be checking for Mac line returns when they process the file.
