I have been using Aiken import more often these days for bulk importing multichoice questions and getting landed up in a mess when the file is not strictly as per the format. Example being a multi-line question will take the second line of the question as an option and what ever below that question gets screwed up and it messes up the entries. "option-DOT-space" is another place where people often miss and it again creates a failed import when someone fails to notice the one incorrect instance in the file.
Can we have a validation logic which validates the imported file for these basic mistakes before actually importing the questions ?
I am sure even other formats will have some constraints which needs to be validated before import to get a successful import.

What do you think of this:
a new Preview option that shows how the importer parsed the questions and what it would import but doesn't do so until you click Confirm.
