Hi Justin,

I don't understand what you mean by "the value comes in as. . ." Comes into what?

Are you saying that it's passed to your XML-SAX handler with the & encoded as & like that?

The problem, as I see it, is the original XML is not well-formed. You can't have a bare & in the document -- that violates XML specs. It should be & in the original XML.

I don't know why that would cause XML-SAX to encode the &, or pass it encoded to your program.... but GIGO...

I'm having an issue parsing this XML:
<NAME>EXF-01 & 02</NAME>

The value comes in as:
EXF-01 &amp; 02

The length is only 7, so I'm getting 'EXF-01 '.


Any suggestions on this? Do I have to ignore the length provided and parse it manually?
