so, do you think this should work? <cfoutput>
<cfsavecontent variable="tony"> <![CDATA[#FinalChop#]]> </cfsavecontent> </cfoutput> btw, the value of final chop, is about 1900 characters of xml code, a response from an asp web service, that has been len()'d then lefted and righted to get a middle section, the only section i need, then parse in this new variable called "tony" to then write to a cffile xml file. tony -----Original Message----- From: S.

That's a problem with the xmlFormat() function -- or the way it's being used -- I'm not familiar with the function, so I don't know what it's supposed to do, although my _guess_ ( if I had to guess ) would be that it's intended to make a string "xml-safe" like jsstringformat() does for javascript or the way that htmleditformat() makes a string "html-safe" ... What is the value of FinalChop prior to using the xmlFormat() function on it? And what is the expected output? Incidentally, you don't need the single-quotes or the pound-symbols surrounding FinalChop ... #xmlFormat(finalChop)# should do the same thing, and with less typing, is easier to read and slightly more efficient for the parser. Final thing -- I would still recommend putting the <cfoutput> tags outside the <cfsavecontent> tags if for no other reason than legibility ... that way, they're not muddling up the xml packet in your code, and the xml packet should be easier to read.
