asptoday_discuss thread: Reserved characters within XML


Message #1 by "Marc Gerits" <e.eck@w...> on Fri, 30 Nov 2001 09:06:12
We have following application;



A client does a soap request to a server using xmlhttp. 

At the server the soap request is received and build it's answer from a 

XML file using XMLDOM. Problems arise at the moment a reserved character 

is present in the XML file (e.g. & or <). XMLDOM internally translates the 

entities to UTF-16 (I guess) at the moment a XML file is read-in. 

After sending the answer back to the client it's not valid XML any more 

because of lost of the entities.



How to solve this ????

Can you employ Regular Expressions to find and replace the values of XML's

reserved characters?



HTH,

Jason

Thanks but  ..

Sounds not easy because the 5 reserved chars are & > < ! " ' and I'am not 

such a rock in regular expressions. So how should I solve this ..?

By the way, is my problem not a known problem? 



Greetings Marc
