I am currently trying to parse a CML file (xml basically) using the Xerces 

C++ parser...BUT..



It keeps on falling over everytime it hits the end of the <!DOCTYPE... 

tag, for example, if I try to parse this file..



-------------------------------------------------------------------------

<!DOCTYPE CML SYSTEM "cml.dtd">

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<molecule xmlns="http://www.xmlcml.org/dtd/cml1_0_1"  convention="MDLMol" 

type="2D">

  <date day="08" month="05" year="2000"/>

  <atomArray>

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I get an error stating Error at line 1, column 32 (the theoretical space 

after >).



Is this something to do with the structure of my XML or is a Problem in 

Xerces? I've been trying to solve this for the past 2 weeks &it's driving 

me nuts!



ANY replies or opinions on this would be gratefully recieved!

ta muchly.

I do not know how much hep this suggestion might be but, try to use a 

third party XML program to try to validate the xml file which you are 

parsing first. If you make sure the XML file is setup properly then you 

can eliminate half of what can be causing an error.



Hope this helps
