Hi all,

I'm trying to export from Todoist using https://darekkay.com/todoist-export/, but I get an error about an unexpected semi-colon. Can anybody shine any light on this?

Exported via https://todoist.com/app/settings/backups, opened the file in MLO XML Convertor tool, however, now I get this error:

`Conversion Error: "" is not a valid integer value"`

Any thoughts? Am I actually exporting correctly via either method?

And for the record, I unzipped the CSV files from the .zip too, so it isn't like I'm trying to open the .zip file either.

This error usually appears if there is a task description written in a certain way. Example:

Todoist Task: Hello
Description: ciao

                        ciao

                        ciao

                        ciao

Try to convert the csv file from Todoist written like this:

Todoist Task: Hello
Description: chao chao chao chao

Then the conversion should work fine.
