Re: Help on search and replace

Hi Mikael,

Character code 4 (ASCII End Of Text EOT) is not legal in an XML document 
or (XSLT document).

 From section 2.2 of the XML spec, the only characters allowed are:

#x9 | #xA | #xD | [#x20-#xD7FF] | [#xE000-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#x10FFFF]

Characters not in the above ranges may not appear in an XML document or 
as a character entity. So both the literal character EOT and the &#4; 
are illegal.

See:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#charsets

You have three options:
  1. Fix the source of the XML so it only generates valid XML.
  2. Do the search and replace in some other means before the XSLT
     processor gets the file.
  3. Find an XSLT processor that can handle illegal characters in the
     XML and XSLT files. (I don't know of one)
