I was able to print the content after the content.replace() and it seems to
remove the xml version part correctly.
Unfortunately the next line : xml = new XML(content); does not execute. i
have a global.log() print after it and it
does not get printed. is there some const i need to include?
Do u know of any extension which parses an xml file ?
