It reads that, letter per letter. I even opened an SVG that works fine and compared the characters. They're the same.

Try this command, replacing FILE with the name of your file:

tidy -xml FILE.svg >temporary.txt

You should get:

No warnings or errors were found.

Nothing's happening, i'm probably not putting it in the right place, but how do I input the command?

[shawnhcorey]

Open a Command Prompt. Then cd to the directory with the file or change the command to the full path to the file, as in:

tidy -xml C:\path\to\FILE.svg >temporary.txt

"Tidy" is not recognized as an internal or external command.

I think I might've installed it (Tidy) wrong. Gimme a bit.

[shawnhcorey]

Try using the full path:

C:\path\to\tidy -xml C:\path\to\FILE.svg >temporary.txt

Still not working.

Well somehow I have broken the tool that helps m change paths and nodes on inkscape. Every time I try to use it it comes out it thinks I am right clicking. Also how do you insert text? Possibly it's just that my inability to left click with inkscape is interfering with that.

If you mean the "Edit paths by nodes" tool, press F2.

Also how do you insert text? Possibly it's just that my inability to left click with inkscape is interfering with that.

Left click on the "Create and edit text objects" tool (the one with the capital A) and then left click on the canvas where you want the text and start typing. If the text is not exactly where you want it, click on the "Select and transform objects" tool (F1) and move it about.

Yeah now I feel pretty stupid,the text works fine,but the problem is the edit paths and nodes won't let me "edit paths and nodes"

This is a kind of vague question, but I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions on my avatar's hair.

I think mine's close-ish, but I'm not quite sure if it quite captures it. Thoughts?

Oh whoops! Sorry! I didn't realize that! I've deleted my post to avoid wasting people's times further.
