Something in one of these files is replacing underscores with spaces in email addresses. I’m 99% sure that the one I forked did too, but I’m including my copy in case I did something boneheaded. script/import_scripts/mbox.rb master # frozen_string_literal: true if ARGV.length != 1 || !File.exist?(ARGV[0]) STDERR.puts "", "Usage of mbox importer:", "bundle exec ruby mbox.rb " STDERR.puts "", "Use the settings file from #{File.expand_path("mbox/settings.yml", File.dirname(__FILE__))} as an example." exit 1 end module ImportScripts module Mbox require_relative "mbox/importer" Importer.new(ARGV[0]).perform end end script/import_scripts/base.rb master # frozen_string_literal: true if ARGV.include?("bbcode-to-md") # Replace (most) bbcode with markdown before creating posts. # This will dramatically clean up the final posts in Discourse. # # In a temp dir: # # git clone https://github.com/nlalonde/ruby-bbcode-to-md.git # cd ruby-bbcode-to-md # gem build ruby-bbcode-to-md.gemspec # gem install ruby-bbcode-to-md-*.gem require "ruby-bbcode-to-md" end require_relative "../../config/environment" require_relative "base/lookup_container" require_relative "base/uploader" module ImportScripts This file has been truncated. show original is replacing _ with a space in email addresses. I can’t find it, and it’s making me crazy. I don’t see that any of the .gsubs could be doing it. Any ideas where I should look, @eviltrout?

Are you talking about underscores to spaces or spaces to underscores? The title of the topic is different than the body :slight_smile: I am pretty sure our system does not allow spaces in emails and will replace them, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it uses underscores.

Fixed the title. [صورة] eviltrout: I am pretty sure our system does not allow spaces in emails and will replace them, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it uses underscores. Right. That’s what’s bizarre. Emails that have underscores in them are ending up causing errors because the underscores are getting replaced with spaces. m_smith@gmail.com becomes m smith@gmail.com. Edit: but it only happens sometimes. Anyway, I was hoping it was something silly and obvious that I was somehow overlooking. Thanks.

I personally haven’t seen this, but it might depend on the mbox format. If you could provide an example of an email that is messed up and the original input I can take a look and try to figure it out.

Thanks, @eviltrout. I’ve added some more debugging messages and will see what I can see.
