Is it possible to import a .svg path into Illustrator?

[Ninjanja]

I have a .svg path which looks like this:

<path xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" d="M.38425,1.81928H.443q.54715.00006,1.0943-.0006a.07731.07731,0,0,0,.05054-.01683c.17833-.18046.35478-.36278.53267-.54366.1149-.11683.23143-.232.3473-.3479L2.49729.88282a.09817.09817,0,0,1,.02037.01205c.27371.27378.55184.5434.81773.82458a.29719.29719,0,0,0,.24893.10611c.32444-.007.64914-.00166.97372-.00377.04734-.00031.05827.01418.058.05954-.00182.35512-.00132.71025-.001,1.06537a1.14022,1.14022,0,0,1-1.15713,1.169c-.36314.00246-.72631.00145-1.08946.00008-.30032-.00113-.60078-.00013-.9009-.00919a1.07792,1.07792,0,0,1-.77124-.35535,1.12076,1.12076,0,0,1-.31243-.80067q.0008-.53751.00033-1.075C.38425,1.85836.38425,1.84118.38425,1.81928ZM2.96231,3.6535a.28052.28052,0,0,0,.031.00515c.16066.00006.32151.005.48193-.00117a.68067.68067,0,0,0,.68253-.71413q.00018-.30364,0-.60729c0-.01685-.00167-.0337-.00255-.05018h-.525l.00178.02762a1.12918,1.12918,0,0,1-.33611,1.01016C3.18819,3.4314,3.07927,3.53793,2.96231,3.6535ZM2.03016,3.654c-.01548-.01771-.024-.02862-.03366-.03834Q1.84844,3.46711,1.7,3.31895a1.13448,1.13448,0,0,1-.345-.88338c.002-.051.01011-.1017.01574-.15592H.84593A.12008.12008,0,0,0,.84212,2.3c.00027.24106-.00658.48242.003.72312a.66806.66806,0,0,0,.58076.62031c.15284.01551.308.00794.46218.01043C1.93239,3.65456,1.97671,3.654,2.03016,3.654Zm.47128-1.30149a1.18593,1.18593,0,0,1,.41986-.39168l-.42245-.42721-.42193.42257A1.1975,1.1975,0,0,1,2.50144,2.35246Zm-.28655.83411a.75159.75159,0,0,0-.38589-.8369.65353.65353,0,0,0,.00366.32217A1.15733,1.15733,0,0,0,2.21489,3.18656Zm.57192.00414c.09168-.09672.18255-.1845.26313-.2809a.67868.67868,0,0,0,.12333-.56518c-.03266.01919-.06083.03364-.08681.05132A.771.771,0,0,0,2.78681,3.1907Z" stroke="none"></path>

Is it possible in some way to import it to Illustrator? With the intention to edit it.

Thanks

Save it as a valid SVG file and open it - have you tried that?

[Ninjanja]

Hey Monika.

I can't try it out right now. But will answer when I've tried
As I understand, I just have to save that precise code that I have posted in a text file with the .svg extension?

You have to create a valid SVG file.

Document Structure – SVG 1.1 (Second Edition)

Yes thank you.

The final code - to make it a valid .svg file is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
