RE: searching string! Need your help

The error says that "[t]he markup in the document preceding the root
element must be well-formed." There are three things that can precede
the root element of an XML document: the XML declaration, comments and
processing instructions. That certainly limits the possibilities.

[snip!]
Xml file looks something like this:

<<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='../810_005.xsl'?>
<document id="12345">
  <TABLE >
      <TABLE_TITLE> Table Title </TABLE_TITLE>
          <ROWS>
              <cell X="0" Y="0"/>
              <cell X="0" Y="1">T<sub>1</sub>op</cell>
              <cell X="0" Y="2">T<sub>2</sub>el</cell>
          </ROWS>
  </TABLE>
</document>
[snip!]

If the XML file looks something like that, then I would say that the XML
declaration is not well-formed (two leading < characters).

If you are not familiar, the root element, a.k.a. the document element,
is the topmost element in the XML document, in this case the <document>
element.
