in 1Password 4 for Windows

Having trouble importing from mSecure into 1password. "can't open perl script convert_to_1p4". I followed the step by step instructions from the 1password website, but get the message "can't open perl script convert_to_1p4". I have a 64bit system and downloaded Strawberry Perl to do the conversion and I'm stuck. Need help

    Hi @patti_lc ,

    The script is convert_to_1p4.pl. You're missing the suffix.

    What MrC said :)

    Please don't hesitate to ask more questions. We're here to help and MrC, the creator of the scripts, is just amazing and helpful.

    Cheers

    Hi @patti_lc,

    This error:

    C:\myperl>cd %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\convert_to_1p4
The system cannot find the path specified.

    shows that the convert_to_1p4 folder is not on your Desktop. It is likely in another folder on your Desktop. Move it to your Desktop directly.

    You don't need to re-run the CPAN commands anymore. You're done with that. Just start with the cd command to get to your convert_to_1p4 folder on your Desktop.

    The msecure export is a CSV file (so Excel would be able to open it). Your Excel install likely took default ownership of .csv suffixed files, so that's why you see its icon.

    Using Windows 10 w/ Strawberry Perl Interpreter. I keep gett a message window that "Perl Interpreter has Stopped Working". I have the msecure csv export file on my desktop as well as the convert_to_1p4. Have followed the Instructions step by step ( or at least I think I have done this right). Any suggestions as to why the perl interpreter stops working?

    Not sure what the problem is. Keep getting an error window that Strawberry Perl Interpreter has stopped working?

    @patti_lc,

    Would you like some remote help? I can help you remotely, and securely. It should just take a few minutes. You'll be in complete control of the session - we'll share your screen, and I'll ask for permission before doing anything. If so, please send me an email - my address is at the top of the convert_to_1p4.pl script. Once I receive your email, I'll send you instructions for the next step.

    @patti_lc ,

    From above:

    my address is at the top of the convert_to_1p4.pl script

    Just open it with a text editor and you'll see it.

    @patti_lc ,

    It is in the Copyright line, about the 4th line of the code.

    I don't post it, because posted email addresses get picked up and added to spam lists.

    @patti_lc and others,

    I remote connected to patti's system, and helped her convert.

    The problem of Strawberry Perl "not working" was due to the wrong Strawberry Perl being used. The PDL version was downloaded, and that won't work in this Windows environment. The correct version was the vanilla Portable version. Once downloaded, and modules installed, the conversion was completed, and imported into 1Password 6.
