Export Keywords corrupt file

I am unable to export keywords as when importing the file into a second Lightroom Classic on my laptop the file is reported as corrupt.  I am using the latest version (13.0.1) and have been copying the file to a memory stick from my PB and transfering to my second copy of LrC on my laptop.  Each time I try to import it is reporting the file as corrupt.

    The CSV file contains a keyword containing a comma: "statues, sculptures etc".  LR has never allowed commas in keywords, though earlier versions sometimes allowed them to be created, and they can still get added if you add a keyword with a comma with another app and then import the photo into LR.

     

    So go to the source LR catalog, edit the keyword "statues, sculptures etc." to remove the comma, then re-export the keywords.

    Many thanks, removing the comma worked. You will have observed I have
    thousands of Keywords and that particular one was originally imported a
    long time ago via Photoshop Elements.

    Thanks again!
