Unrecognised XML characters

crmpicco · May 17th, 2005, 09:21 AM

When running my XML file through Altova XMLSpy i get this error when it view it:

Your file contains 10 characters it should not, these are

#150; (0x96), #146; (0x92)

Does anyone know what chars these are?

TIA.

these are not valid character codes in iso-8859-1. you'll probably find that actually your file is encoded in windows-1252 (similar, but really a superset of iso-8859-1).

change to xml version='1.0' encoding='windows-1252'
