I am sure I have seen this question asked before but searching has not found it.
We are using httpapi to retrieve a list of files that is returned in xml
The xml file saved to the ifs has the following leading characters that then results into xml-into failing.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
In case these characters get corrupted in the email / forum they are hex x'EFBBBF'
A valid xml file must start with a < so we can't just blank these characters out.
And xml-into does not allow a substring that I have found.
So if I can't stop the invalid characters how would I shift the contents of the stream file left by 3 characters or I expect there is a better option ?
Thank you to any suggestions or examples.
