RE: Converting a Batch File to XML

This example works fine for me after changing the regex to
regex="[\-a-zA-Z0-9]+"

It gives output starting:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<someRoot>
   <record>
      <word>H-A-HEADER</word>
      <other> </other>
      <word>some</word>
      <other> </other>
      <word>content</word>
   </record>
   <record>
      <word>I-AN-ITEM-1</word>
      <other> </other>
      <word>more</word>
      <other> </other>
      <word>content</word>
   </record>

I wonder if there's a Java problem? I ran this using Java version 1.4.1_02.
