special characters issue in xml

Hello All,

Is there a way to retrive the decimal and/or hex value of a character?
Can we scan the text in a record and check for special characters like  , line feed,
carriage return?
I think decimal values 32 thru 126 represent valid/most widely used characters.
How can we retrieve the decimal value of the characters (dec value <32 and >126)?
Is there a way to identify these special characters while reading a text record?

I need to take care of these special characters for an xml document upload.
Since we replace & with a &amp; in xml document, all the special characters need
to be converted to xml standard so that the xml parser can read the data.

Thank you all in advance.

Ray
