Thanks for all the info Pete. I'm running CF9, so that's Java 1.6, and it uses Xerces 2.9.1, which seems to be the latest. Interesting that you were able to parse the xml using java 1.5 - maybe I'll give this a try on a CF8 box. I'll probably end up doing the stripping of that line, but it's a pain to do that because some of the files are big (400MB+) and don't have any line breaks in them, so first I need to make a pass over the file just to get line breaks before each XML tag, so that I can then use CFLOOP to go through it a second time on a line by line basis. If I try to read that whole file in at once CF (JVM actually) will roll over.
thanks again for all the info, still digesting it, -reed ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
