RE: Carriage return in XML

Matthew,

'~' indicates the type of document, and is called BOM (Byte Order Mark)
used with UTF-8 text documents. Possibly changing the encoding to UTF-8
isn't supported.

A thing you can try is to change the output encoding before saving your xml,
or adding it to the returned xml string before saving it to disk.

HTH,
<prs/>

Hmm

Actually the problem seems to be the encoding not the CR at all.

In a hex editor I see a ~ at the start of their XML file but not mine.
However when I change my xml template to <?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-16"?> from <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-"8"?> the process
now produces an empty file. Any idea why this may be?

This is the template.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<CSM xmlns:sql="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-sql">
          <sql:query>
          exec CSM.dbo.querystrCR
     </sql:query>
</CSM>

Cheers
Matt

Matt,

Add the below xslt after the end tag of the call that is generating the
output and you will get the desired results. The first is a CR and second is
NL


	<xsl:text>&#xD;&#xA;</xsl:text>

Regards,

Brad

Subject:  Carriage return in XML

Hi

I am trying to generate a file of XML which is imported into a third party
App.

So Far I have an wsh script

var xml= new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DomDocument.4.0");
xml.async = false;
xml.preserveWhiteSpace = true;
xml.load("http://localhost/routingtwo/template/test.xml");
xml.save("testoutput.xml");


XML template

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<csm xmlns:sql="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-sql">
          <sql:query>
          exec CSM.dbo.querystrCR
     </sql:query>
</csm>

So the XML file is created by accessing SQL server over http and saved
locally. In a web browser the xml looks identical to an example xml file
which can be imported into the app. However the xml file I generate will not
import into the app, and I've narrowed the problem to a CR (carriage
return) problem. I can manually add them in and it does import

In WordPad my XML looks like
<csm>
	<field1>value</field1><field2>value</field2>
</csm>

But is should be like
<csm>
	<field1>value</field1>
	<field2>value</field2>
</csm>

Using google I see some other people with this problem and a solution of
<xsl:text></xsl:text> However I'm not sure how to impliment this into my
process. Any help appreciated. Cheers Matt
