"There are one or more missing fields"

I am hoping someone has a suggestion for how to fix this problem retrieving my txt-based WFP TM in Olifant. My WFP license is expired (I am not going to renew at this point), and apparently I now cannot export the TM's that I have accumulated over the years. I have had issues in the past with direct imports of WFP text-based TM's in Olifant, and found it better to create a new TM in olifant and use "import" rather than just opening the TM, or best: export the tmx out of WFP.

Either way, when I try to open or import the txt based TM in Olifant, I get the error message:
Error: Line xxx: There are one or more missing fields - for every single line in my tm.

I opened several tm's that don't have this problem in EditPad, compared their structure and the headers, swapped out the first line or parts of it, but nothing helps. I have no idea why I would have this problem with the TM in the first place. Everything looks normal.

I tried to upload it to WFA and it gave me the error message that there was a problem with the header or something else. I cannot repeat this at the moment because WFA is hanging when I try to set up the TM (in FF as well as Chrome).

Anyone any idea what I can do to solve this problem and access my TM and convert it to tmx?

Thanks :-)
