Hi guys Smile

I'm working on a new program that saves data in an XML structure. The data are bit of HTML code.

When data is encoded using ISO-8859-1 characters "<" and ">" are codified into "&lt;" and "&gt;", ... but when VDS finds "><" only encodes the first character and we obtain a registration error: "&gt;<" Crying or Very sad

The only solution: the VDS program itself must replaces "<" and ">".

Does anyone have any alternatives? Question

Thank in advance

I have yet to use the XML features of VDS myself. I've always made my own parse routine for processing HTML or XML from within VDS.

Maybe not the solution you were hoping for but at least a solution if no other solution can be found.

I did try using the XML features of VDS6 in a project last year. In the end I found it was more effective and quicker to manipulate the data as text using Dread's excellent StringDLL.

I moved this to the General Help forum since this is not a bug. The XMLDOC commands and functions do not convert the XML and they expect the XML to be well formed meaning they expect the >< to be the actual character and not the HTML equivalent (&gt &lt). When extracting the XML from the HTML you should search and replace all the HTML equivalent values with their real values before sending the XML to the XMLDOC commands and functions.
