Hi Nathan

I'm not generating this XML. I am consuming it. And I am very sure that we are not going to get the software changed on the other end to encode spaces.

The contents of the XML is being sent to us, to be stored in a PF on our system. Display will be in an existing DSPF.

So the use of sed (or some other search/replace utility) is to do the encoding in this rather narrow context. I'd replace each space in <custno> with the entity using ASCII number.

Thanks
Vern

My main option is to encode these particular spaces - sed should do the

I don't understand the context for using sed for encoding. Manually encode XML element values? I generally envision generating XML from database row/column values. Or parsing XML and loading it into DB row/column values.

Sometimes I run into encoding issues related to the IBM i HTTP server, configuration options, content-type, and charset values embedded in HTTP Post data. Is that what you're afraid of?
