Problem Importing Keywords

[bob183]

I recently moved to a new computer, and I'm having a problem importing my old hierarchical keyword list. I went to Library/Metadata and exported the old list. Then I went to Library/Metadata on the new computer and tried to import Lightroom Keywords.text. However when I click OK to import the file, Lightroom refuses to import it and gives me the following notice: "Name must be a non-empty string." Can anyone help?

Bob, there's a space character or a return/linefeed or something hiding in there.
There can be no blank lines. Scroll down and see if you can find something.

I've encountered this frequently, with keyword text files that I've edited by hand. (If you haven't edited the file, I can't suggest how the error arose.)

Thanks, Brad! That was it. Went through it once and thought I found all the spaces. Reimported and got the same error. Went back and found a few spaces that I had missed the first time. Got those fixed and it imported like a charm.
