I was hoping some XML expert could help me make this code work. Below is sample code with sample XML similar to what I'm dealing with.
How can I make the weird characters in the XML not break the parser? I'll do anything to make this work!
(Note: the broke my parser yesterday but doesn't seem to in this sample code) But really I'm looking for solutions that will handles lots
of unusual characters.
Much thanks,
Greg
