I assume that Ant's XML parse will digest your character reference. In effect you are doing nothing more than <replaceregexp file="myfile.xml" match=" " replace=" " flags="g" byline="true" encoding="utf-8" /> Have you tried something like <replaceregexp file="myfile.xml" match=" (&)#xa0;" replace=" " flags="g" byline="true" encoding="utf-8" /> instead? // Wolfgang On Sat, Mar 12, 2011 at 12:48 AM, Brian Agnew <br...@oopsconsultancy.com> wrote: > You might want to try XMLTask, which reads XML natively and handles the > specified character encodings.
