When I use CatoBase in my historical league (just FYI, Ted Williams retired after hitting .400 in his last seaseon and with 875 career HR. Just felt like sharing that.) I get a certain error message about every other year when I try to import stats. The message is:

There is a problem importing around line X in the feil \players.csv.

The most likely cause is an invalid character in the Nickname of HomeState fields.

Open this file in Notepad and uncheck the Word Wrap (under Edit).
Examine the above line and surrounding line for any unusual characters and import again.

Now, this seems self-explanatory, but I have no idea how to fix it. So, what types of invalid character am I looking for? WHy does it sometimes work and sometimes not, even when the player who had the initial flaw is still in the league? Bottom line, how do I fix it. I hate being unable to import a season and have a gap in my guys careers.
