XML formatting

[gbrown]

I'm having to convert some stuff to an XML format. I know zip about XML...but I have a file that I'm using as a model.

I've got a line like this:

<respcondition title="0 0.6 inches" >

actually, it's 0.6"

When my translator kicks out:

<respcondition title="0 0.6 "" >

the system chokes. How do I tell it to stick in a literal quote?

Thanks...

The quote must be escaped like so:


\"


A list of characters that need to be escaped are found in the Strings section here:

Odd... the XML displayer chokes on this:

<respcondition title="0 .12\" to .20\" " >

Any suggestions?

I have XML files that have things like "Item="4 x 8 x 7/16" and Item="Anderson egress basement windowCW235 RO 3' 5 3/8" H x 4' 9" W" and they don't cause any problems. I haven't used these file with AMS.

What are you using to display the XML file?

I'm just loading it into FireFox.

Have you tried IE? That's what I use and it doesn't complain about the embedded quotes.

No luck... gets ill in IE, too.

I guess it really doesn't matter. I sent a sample file to The Customer and the program it's supposed to end up in ate it without a burp...so I guess I won't worry about it!

Hey Gary,

What about using &quot; instead?

<respcondition title="0 .12&quot; to .20&quot; " >

Since you are viewing it in a browser it might work.
